Thomas Bury is an applied mathematician, data scientist, and TEDx speaker. He currently works at the Department of Physiology, McGill University. His research uses tools from mathematics and artificial intelligence better understand the dynamics of complex systems arising in ecology, epidemiology, climate science and medicine. He is currently working on methods to detect and classify cardiac arrhythmia in people. Besides research, he writes on Medium for Towards Data Science and teaches a range of courses.
