Software and computational methods: Bayesian estimation tools for FDA drug trial design. Integral equation methods for earthquake and tsunami simulations.Research funding policy: Working with the Institute for Progress to create career hands-on re- searcher positions in fields dominated by a faculty-as-manager paradigm.

E-commerce demand forecasting:– Technical lead for a machine learning system that forecasts sales for 2 million products and $4 billion of revenue.– Crafted a novel time-series early-stopping technique to minimize over-fitting, simultaneously improving model accuracy and reducing model training time from one week to two hours.Data science tech enablement: Helped economists analyze big data and build high performance production data and prediction systems.Statistical software development: Implementing and parallelizing numerical optimization algorithms for modeling in e-commerce and P&C insurance.

Numerical software: Developed and implemented computational methods enabling three-dimensional geometrically accurate GPU-accelerated earthquake simulation.Earthquake science: Used geometrically realistic simulations of earthquake activity in the Pacific Northwest to identify common magnitudes and spatial extents of damaging events.Machine learning: Trained networks to compute complex viscous and elastic physical behavior 500x faster than prior numerical methods.

Developed tools for automatically parallelizing complex calculations over supercomputers.

I worked with Professor Oliver Jagoutz and Claire Bucholz to understand the active faulting in western Mongolia and produced my undergraduate thesis: “Active deformation of theShargyn Basin, a transpressional strike-slip intersection in western Mongolia.”

Worked with Professor Brian Evans to design software to automatically track micron scale rock deformation.

Designed, built and successfully launched a web-based electronic health record system for therapists using Python, PostgreSQL, and Javascript.

Designed and built a property management system, a time management system, and a number ofother small websites using PHP, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Javascript, and Python. Using Java and Perl, developed new features for SearchIncite, a text data mining solution.
