Hey,
Welcome to my personal website! I’m John Ladan, a physicist and applied mathematician with a passion for problem-solving and innovation. With a Ph.D. in Physics and a Master’s in Applied Mathematics, I bring a unique blend of analytical rigor and creative thinking to every project I tackle.
I’m naturally drawn to data science, web development, and scientific computing. This website is a curated showcase of my diverse skills and experiences. You’ll find a range of projects that highlight my expertise in areas like data analysis, web development, and backend engineering. My commitment to excellence and a penchant for learning drive me to take on new challenges.
As a seasoned scientist, I’ve designed and executed experiments that have expanded our understanding of the physical world. Additionally, I’m deeply committed to education and have had the privilege of instructing the 4th year advanced undergraduate physics lab – a requisite course for Physics majors at the University of Toronto. I was also in charge of maintaining and developing the custom software students used for data acquisiton and analysis.
Another project I was quite proud to play a part in is the Activity-Based Indoor Contaminant Assessment Model (ABICAM). For this, I tutored a fellow Ph.D. student, who had limited experience with Python and scientific computing, to the point of having a novel, time-varying model of human exposure to chemical pollutants in workplace environments. His model was the foundation of several academic papers on the subject.
Thank you for visiting my corner of the internet. I’m always eager to connect with fellow enthusiasts and future collaborators. Please don’t hesitate to reach out – let’s embark on exciting ventures together!
