Boston, Massachusetts, United States

- Analysis and application of discrete-time mathematical models in the context of developing a closed form solution which provides an arbitrage-free pricing of non-Gaussian variance swaps in financial markets which are governed by a Barndorff-Nielson and Shephard type Levy process- Studied intensively under Dr. Habtemicael’s guidance, then independently developed and proved theorems related to closed form solutions pertaining to Gaussian stochastic volatility dynamics

Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States

- Helped create a real-life dataset through data collection, cleaning, and annotation (verbal and nonverbal behaviors between elementary school children dyads during one-on-one storytelling)- Developed scripts in an open-source SDK to extract features of children’s speech for analysis- Created a rule-based statistical model in Python to classify potential speaker cues and anomalies as "the initial guess" to help a social robot determine the appropriate backchannel response during interactions

Billerica, Massachusetts, United States

- Debugged and added features to video analytics engine test-bench to allow the Principal Engineer to perform local pre-alpha and unit testing of state-of-the-art algorithms and optimizations (C++)- Localized bugs and helped solve them using good engineering practices- Directly performed engineering testing on alpha-stage analytics algorithms and optimizations from the Principal Engineer to gauge integrity and efficiency before sending to QA for beta testing- Created parsing scripts for easier/faster profiling of various camera performances for QA department (Python)- Implemented suggestions and proved hypotheses of Platform Team Lead/Firmware Director regarding improvement of analytics frame rate on hi-tech cameras

Boston, Massachusetts, United States

- Designed baseline Natural Language Processing feature extraction algorithms "from scratch" in C (single & multi-threaded CPU) to showcase the capability of multi-threaded GPU algorithms for speech recognition- Presented published results at the 2015 Boston Area Architecture Workshop
