I am a senior data scientist with strong problem-solving skills, a deep understanding of AI and business processes, a great passion for coding and development, and years of experience in scientific fields and business.My current job at Cardinal Health involves providing innovative and data-driven solutions for medical supply distribution systems. My job covers the full spectrum of ideation, hypothesis validation, pilot testing, MLOps and production, and presentation to the stakeholders.Working on solutions that improve the lives of people is the strongest motivation for me. We search for opportunities where we could leverage AI to improve customer satisfaction and reduce the costs.I try to extend my appetite for learning and innovating to the members of the teams that I lead, so I follow transformational leadership principles. Besides, I keep my scientific discipline in business projects and dedicate all the efforts needed to deliver trustable results with maximum accuracy.Before joining my current team, I collaborated with a team of world leaders in the field of diabetes at the University of Virginia to develop a neural network model and use simulation data augmentation to improve the time series prediction of blood glucose.Being passionate about AI, I tried entrepreneurship in an exciting project where we made a prototype of an artificial intelligence tool for behavioral modification. We collect data from wearable devices, and we develop a comprehensive machine-learning algorithm to calculate and predict stress based on environmental and digital data.My contribution to statistical computational chemistry was writing efficient simulation C/C++ and R codes to improve a statistical model to explain the behavior of hydrogen bonds under the influence of electric field and at the vicinity of a graphene layer.In short, I am a hard-working, innovative problem solver with deep expertise in AI and science.

Teaching AssistantVirginia Commonwealth University Aug 2013 - Oct 2018Richmond, Va, UsFive years teaching assistant for general chemistry 101 and 102, and general chemistry lab: CHEZ 101 and CHEZ 102. The task that I have been performing are: Chemistry Lab Assistant:• Followed safety and procedures accurately when handling hazardous material• Designed experiments for young students• Supervising students in solving problems and doing the experiments• Aided in preparation of various solutions and reagents required for experimentsChemistry Assistant:• Demonstrate solid knowledge and understanding of the content matter• Establish communicate and demand high expectations for student learning and quality of work Use a multitude of instructional strategies and activities that are academically rigorous and highly engaging• Giving necessary lectures, grading, proctoring, and many other teaching-related tasks• Maintained productive relationships with other teachers and scientists• Evaluated student progress and provide constructive suggestions for student enrichmentThe interesting part: of being a TA in VCU is that we try to teach the students how to think about the problems, not giving them the answers, and even just passing the course. We care a lot about the students, and we try to transfer our knowledge to them in the best and most modern ways.
