ORISE Fellow for Public Health Data Science at Center for Injury Prevention

Lead Data Science and Machine Learning Research for Pixlise Mars Rover Data Analysis Software Project

In the Keepin Nonproliferation Summer School, I attended lectures and educational programs about Nuclear Nonproliferation and Safeguards. In my research I developed machine learning data analysis models for multistream facility characterization, and spent fuel measurement.

I worked with Bethany Goldblum's Complexity Science and Data Analysis Group (https://complexity.berkeley.edu/) on a number of projects that can be found at https://www.austinpwright.com/projects/.I presented my work at multiple conferences and contributed further to work presented at various poster sessions and in papers curently under peer review.

The Center for Information Technology Research in the Interest of Society (CITRIS) creates information technology solutions for society’s most pressing challenges. CITRIS leverages the research strengths of University of California campuses at Berkeley, Davis, Merced and Santa Cruz, and operates within the greater ecosystem of the University and the innovative and entrepreneurial spirit of Silicon Valley. The institute was created to “shorten the pipeline” between world-class laboratory research and the development of applications, platforms, companies, and even new industries. CITRIS facilitates multi-disciplinary partnerships and collaborations among more than 400 faculty members, thousands of students, and researchers from over 60 corporations and institutions.CITRIS is collaborating with investigators at Calit2 and UC San Diego to establish the Pacific Research Platform (PRP), a science-driven high-capacity data-centric “freeway system” on a large regional-scale. Within a few years, the PRP will enable participating universities and other research institutions to move data 1,000 times faster compared to speeds on today’s inter-campus shared Internet. PRP’s data-sharing architecture, with connections of 10-100 gigabits per second, will enable region-wide virtual co-location of data with computing resources and enhanced security options. PRP links most of the research universities on the West Coast (the 10 campuses of the University of California, San Diego State University, Caltech, USC, Stanford, University of Washington) via the Corporation for Education Network Initiatives in California (CENIC)/Pacific Wave infrastructure.
