Matt Brems
I taught Marco at General Assembly. He was a particularly strong student! He was engaged, inquisitive, intelligent, and interacted positively with everyone. His prolific writing has been helpful to me personally and I'm confident serve as a solid resource for others as well. He's quite impressive on all fronts!
Tarry Singh
I know Marco as a bright data scientist who sees the needs of his clients through the lens of machine learning skills. This helps him clearly see where the pain is and how data can provide insights to alleviate these pains. I wish Marco all the best in achieving his goals.

This course introduces the most important concepts of 20th-century physics, and what may be some exciting questions for 21st-century physics. We used three of Einstein’s great discoveries as the jumping-off point for our discussion: the photoelectric effect, special relativity, and general relativity. The photoelectric effect was instrumental in the development of atomic theory; special relativity changed our notions of space, time, and energy.

We used three of Einstein’s great discoveries as the jumping-off point for our discussion: the photoelectric effect, special relativity, and general relativity. The photoelectric effect was instrumental in the development of atomic theory; special relativity changed our notions of space, time, and energy. In particular, the famous E=mc^2 is the basis for our entire knowledge of stars and their evolution. General relativity changed our notions of gravity and allowed the possibility of strange objects like black holes. Together these ideas have also changed our notions of how the universe is changing and its future. Along the way, we encountered the mysterious dark matter and dark energy, seen only through their gravitational interaction.
