Birmingham, Alabama, United States

I lead a talented team of data scientists, developing tools for clinical research. We specialize in generative AI and Waveform Analysis (high-resolution time series data). So far, we've developed 10+ generative AI tools for clinical research and administration and have multiple publications in high-resolution data analysis.

Atlanta, GA

Corporate Risk; Balance Sheet ModelingThe focus of my work was development and remediation of stress-test models for trading, credit, treasury management, wholesale revenue, and wealth investment management portfolios. These projects employed time series modeling, regularized regression, cluster analysis, cross-validation, panel data methods, and.

Remote

• At Humane League Labs, I created models based on survey data, conveying to stakeholders what the most successful campaign strategies are. Additionally, I have worked on a data collection project involving web scraping.
• Creating and validating statistical models predicting the behavior of individuals in response to outreach campaigns.
• Web scraping, data cleaning, and data management for the purpose of creating a database of potential geographic locations to target for the greatest impact.
• Preparing technical and non-technical reports recommending concrete actions for outreach campaigns.

Department Of Mathematics And Statistics

• In my statistics research, I worked on a team that developed a novel clustering technique for multi-partite networks. I am also the primary author of an upcoming manuscript on a technique for uncovering the underlying.
• Developing a novel clustering technique for arbitrary subsets of nodes on a network.
• Designing and implementing a technique for analyzing the underlying structures of networks.

Department Of Physics

• Throughout my graduate career, I worked extensively on finding the underlying patterns in large data sets through the use of Markov Chains, hierarchical and non-hierarchical clustering, principal component analysis.
• Performing GPU-enabled molecular dynamics simulations of proteins and nucleic acids
• Implementing existing and developing novel data analysis techniques (e.g. Bayesian Markov state modeling, network analysis, clustering, and data visualization) to investigate drug candidates
• Implementing machine learning techniques for analyzing large biophysics (~terabyte sized) data sets.
• Proposing and validating models for explaining the pharmacological properties of drug candidates.

Richmond, California

• Applied teaching skills and physics content knowledge to more than triple the percentage of students scoring “Advanced or Proficient” on California High School physics standards. Taught the school's first AP science.
• Instructional Leadership Team member - A team of teachers and administrators who analyze student achievement data, identify areas of need and increase student achievement by influencing the behavior of adults on campus.
• Curriculum Design – Summer 2012, I spent approximately 120 hours (at the request of our network curriculum coordinators) creating and packaging daily lesson materials, unit plans, quizzes and unit exams for.
• Course facilitator – Responsible for coordinating network-wide physics testing, updating the network’s common physics curriculum as needed and coordinating meetings among network physics teachers as needed.
• 11th grade lead – Facilitated eight professional development sessions during the 2011-2012 school year on common teaching strategies and student intervention plans.

San Francisco Bay Area

Selected from more than 47,000 applicants nationwide to join national teacher corps who commit two years to teach in under-resourced public schools. Participated in intensive training program to develop the skills and knowledge needed to achieve significant gains in student achievement.

Researched and tested (using MATLAB) boundary conditions for numerical evolution of wave equations over time. Also Tested methods for numerical integration and interpolation.
