  Analyzed large scale data sets dealing with job scheduling. The task was to find patterns that describe the workload behavior

  average run time

  and predicting restart and recovery in case of failures. Methods included model selection

  random forests

  and regression trees

  among other machine learning algorithms. Collaboration was done with Professor Ery Arias-Castro.

  Aided in Python code and used data mining techniques on a data set from the Silicon Valley Bank to be able to prepare financial forecasting and cost analysis. Mentored by Professor Harish Bhat. Methods included:\n-Robust estimators\n-Singular Value Decomposition\n-Principal Component Analysis

  Statistical Research Assistant

  Performed and developed robust classification methods with integrated penalty functions while analyzing large scale data sets

  specifically when the number of features was much larger than the number of observations. This included the analysis of data from functional genomics

  clinical research

  and simulation. Methods were developed with the usage of numerical optimization

  stochastic coordinate gradient descent

  machine learning algorithms

  exponential boosting

  and oracle inequalities. Mentored by Professor Jelena Bradic.
