I have worked as a statistician in various research projects:- regressed parameters and developed a probabilistic model to assess the risk of landslides caused by earthquakes (Article text: https://www.mdpi.com/2076-3263/9/7/305);- discovered missed events by analyzing waveform time series data using cross-correlation methods;- developed a probability model for predicting landslides based on precipitation characteristics (Read article online: https://rdcu.be/cpW0j);- designed experiments to test hypotheses about increased seismicity after the start of oil and gas productionPlease see my scientific publications for the results.Methods: linear/logistic regression, parameters estimation, probabilistic analysis, feature engineering, explanatory data analysis, cross-correlation analysis and hypothesis testing

Sakhalin

Co-leader of the project "Development of new technologies for monitoring and managing seismic risks (natural and induced) in the industrial development of offshore oil and gas fields", Federal Special-Purpose Program of the Russian Ministry of Education. Project ID 14.607.21.0105 (RFMEF160714X0105). Project implementation period: 2014 – 2016. Number of participants: 15 developers/scientists. Grant amount: 15 000 000 RUB (~274 000 USD).Project results:The automated seismic monitoring system was implemented. Implemented such data processes as collection, transmission, storage and processing in real time. The system has been tested in North Sakhalin at a high level of industrial noise factors. The system preforms earthquake location within ML≥3.0 without missing events and detects seismic signals in data flow for events with МL≥1.0. The one of disadvantage of the system is high rate of false triggered events that increases as number of seismic stations grows.Technology stack: seisan, earthworm, winston/swarm, obspy, linux, kvm, zabbix, ocfs2, nfs, C/bash/python, mysql.
