Alem Memić

Alem Memić is a Sarajevo-based data scientist with a PhD in mathematics from the University of Sarajevo. He represented Bosnia and Herzegovina at the 2006 International Mathematical Olympiad in Ljubljana, earning an Honourable Mention. After completing a doctorate in harmonic function theory under Muharem Avdispahić, he moved into applied machine learning, working across Bosnia, the United States, Poland and Denmark on time-series forecasting, computer vision and NLP. He is currently a data scientist at KAKTI in Denmark.

Posts and comments mainly on LinkedIn, concentrated on scientific and machine-learning subjects (physics explainers, ML research threads) rather than company promotion; engagement is infrequent and discussion-oriented.

Notes10

• Currently a Data Scientist at KAKTI (Grindsted, Denmark), engineering and evaluating deep-learning models for multivariate time-series forecasting of power-plant operational data to optimize energy production schedules — a shift from pure mathematics to industrial ML.2024
• His publication output stops around 2016-2017 — the same window as his PhD completion — and his first data-science roles begin immediately after, suggesting he left academia for industry at PhD completion rather than after a postdoc.2017
• The 2006 Olympiad contestant is the same person as the mathematician with a University of Sarajevo PhD (2016); his dissertation 'On a decomposition theorem in harmonic function theory' under advisor Muharem Avdispahić (MSC 31, potential theory) links the teenage competitor to a later pure-mathematics career.2016
• Career trajectory across four countries and seven data-science/teaching roles (KAKTI, itechton, Nexer Insight, Yewno, Arslan Consulting, Checklens, BPU Holdings, University of Sarajevo); the geographic spread Sarajevo->California->Poland->Denmark suggests he follows opportunity across markets rather than anchoring to one hub.2025
• Represented Bosnia and Herzegovina at the 47th IMO in Ljubljana, Slovenia (12-13 July 2006), scoring 11 points (7 on P1, 3 on P4, 1 on P5) and earning an Honourable Mention; the BIH team finished 41st overall.Jul 2006
• Google Scholar profile shows only 3 lifetime citations, h-index 1, most from the 2014 Turkish Journal paper; his research footprint is small and largely dormant since ~2016, consistent with an exit from academia.2026
• Published in harmoni analysis/Bergman-space theory — 'A reproducing kernel for a Hilbert space related to harmonic Bergman space on a domain outside compact set,' Turkish Journal of Mathematics 38 (2014) — a small but genuine research record.Oct 1, 2014
• The 2006 BIH team included future academics Harun Šiljak and Irfan Glogić alongside him; his own path from IMO Honourable Mention (2006) to harmonic-analysis PhD (2016) to industrial data science (2021+) shows Bosnia's math-olympiad pipeline feeding academia and the private sector alike.Jul 2006
• Active on LinkedIn as a commenter on scientific topics (e.g. particle physics explainers, the foundations of physics), suggesting a continued personal interest in pure science well beyond his applied day job.2026
• Awarded a Fund 'Bošnjaci' scholarship for academic year 2011/12 as a postgraduate student of natural sciences in the Department of Mathematics — recognition of early academic promise while still in graduate study.2012
• Maintains a MathSciNet author record (id 1051810) with one indexed publication (2014), and a ResearchGate profile carrying harmonic-Bergman-kernel papers — residual academic presence despite the industry pivot.2014
• Listed in Fund 'Bošnjaci' 2009/2010 records as a student of the Faculty of Science in Sarajevo, Department of Mathematics, confirming his undergraduate home institution.2009
