My broad professional interests are in the field of data science. More specifically, I am strongly interested in the development, deployment and assessment of predictive models to large-impact problems. As a PhD student at the University of Notre Dame, I worked on a variety of projects in the intersection of education and predictive analytics. I developed models that can be used to predict dropout risk for students in post-secondary institutions based both on academic performance and student engagement. Further, as a fellow at the Eric Schmidt Data Science for Social Good program, I worked with some of the largest school districts in the US to develop early warning systems that are capable of detecting students that are at risk of not graduating on time, thus allowing schools to intervene and improve retention rates.Specialties: Data Analytics, Machine Learning, Learning from Imbalanced Datasets, Model Evaluation, Data Visualization, and programming in Python, R.
Listed skills include Python, Machine Learning, Data Analysis, C++, and 25 others.
