As a PhD candidate in Industrial & Systems Engineering, I specialize in advancing machine learning and deep learning applications for complex, real-world data challenges. My research focuses on improving predictive models for time series forecasting, with significant contributions toward projects such as:Aerospace Industry: Developed a video classification model to automate anomaly detection in fiber placement, enhancing manufacturing precision and efficiency.Department of Defense: Applied topological data analysis and dynamic mode decomposition to predict radio frequency heating effects on composite materials, contributing to improved materials engineering practices.My work combines rigorous statistical methods with practical applications, aiming to push the boundaries of data science to solve pressing and complex problems.
