• Collaborated with a team of three to perform a meta-analysis on optimal approaches for applying differential privacy to mobility data, presented at the IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy (2024).
• Implemented a Markov chain model-based Ngram approach using Python to anonymize a dataset detailing mobile device connections to access points across a college campus, while preserving key mobility patterns.
• Conducted comprehensive data cleaning and preprocessing using Jupyter Notebook… Show more
• Conducted comprehensive data cleaning and preprocessing using Jupyter Notebook on the mobility dataset, including handling missing values, outlier detection, and data aggregation, resulting in a high-quality dataset.
• Assessed the effectiveness of the Ngram model using Pandas, NumPy, and Matplotlib for statistical analysis and data visualization, concluding that the Ngram model is unsuitable for the privatization task. Show less
