Tooba Maqsood
@toobamaqsood
Research-focused computational scientist specializing in machine learning and biomechanics.
What I'm looking for
I am a Master's student in Computational Science and Engineering with strong expertise in machine learning, deep learning, and data analysis, focused on applying data-driven methods to biomechanics, motion-capture studies, and predictive modeling. I have led and contributed to projects using motion-capture, regression and ensemble methods, XGBoost, LSTM time-series forecasting, and computer-vision models such as YOLOv7, producing actionable insights and a peer-reviewed publication.
My practical experience includes research scholarship work in a biomechanics lab, remote document control, and lecturing, which have developed my technical, communication, and project-management skills. I am motivated to grow in research-focused roles where I can apply advanced modeling, rigorous data analysis, and collaborative problem solving to real-world scientific and engineering problems.
