Luca Toldo

Principal Research Scientist at Merck KGaA

Darmstadt, Hessen Germany

What I Do:

Communicating with scientists, facilitating their seek for discovery.
Exploit state of the art IT technologies in order to advance knowledge discovery has always been my deep interest. Through a quarter of century , from my very first job as fertility expert for cows (18), until now (43), I always tried to exploit computational methods on practical tasks. I always enjoyed knowing about "practical needs", and as well explore latest numerical and AI techniques. My native acquaintance with the keyboard drove me always closer to computers, and made me a programmer in a wide variety of languages. My curiosity had rarely been satisfied by "helicopter views", and therefore I always needed to dive deep in the details of the implementations. That's me: interested in helping people, exploiting the skills I got.
