What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, collaboration, and growth opportunities in data science.

I am a dedicated PhD candidate in Computational and Applied Mathematics at Old Dominion University, focusing on the Mathematics of Data Science. My academic journey has equipped me with a robust foundation in statistical methods, machine learning, and big data analytics. I thrive on tackling complex data challenges and transforming insights into actionable strategies.

During my recent apprenticeship at the University of South Carolina, I contributed to significant research projects, including analyzing Long Covid hospital data and optimizing neural networks for chemistry applications. My experience as a teaching assistant has further honed my ability to communicate complex concepts effectively, fostering a collaborative learning environment.

With a strong technical skill set in programming languages such as R and Python, along with tools like SAS E-Miner and PyTorch, I am well-prepared to drive data-driven decision-making in any organization. I am eager to leverage my expertise in a dynamic role that challenges me to innovate and grow.
