Working under Professor Gabriel Young, I designed an inferential framework to quantify the time-dependent effects of scheduled macroeconomic announcements on the mean cumulative returns of financial assets (specified as a time series of cumulative intraday returns, CIDR’s) to facilitate intraday alpha generation and market-making models using local kernel-weighted polynomial smoothing, numerical derivative estimation, and sentiment analysis.I developed a low-latency algorithmic implementation of this inferential technique in Python to enhance tool sets available to finance researchers and improve algorithmic trading services modules by analyzing the impact of specified macroeconomic announcements on selected asset returns, including “pre-FOMC drift”, Crude Oil Inventory Change, Nonfarm Payrolls, etc.JEL Classification: G14, G17, C14, C41

As a part of a Data Science Institute (DSI) Scholars Program “Data for Good” project, I led a team of researchers in coordination with sociological research teams from the Fundación por la Educación Multidimensional (FEM) in Colombia to orchestrate projects ensuring land access and legal representation to underrepresented indigenous groups in Colombia.I implemented new frameworks in SQLite for source-to-target mapping of data collection and analysis procedures used in socioeconomic census surveys of rural indigenous communities. I utilized GMM (k-means) and DBSCAN spatial search algorithms in Python and visualizations using Tableau to demonstrate inaccuracies in government designation of public land tracts and to identify communities requiring support from local nonprofit partners.I developed a project proposal for a GIS mapping project of Colombian titled public land to facilitate FEM’s goal of connecting local communities with the technical and legal resources to protect their cultural lands and territories.

I was responsible for implementing a new electronic health record strategy for this medical office. While managing medical coding, billing, and claim submission to insurance companies to ensure proper claim processing, I oversaw the cloud migration of electronic health record systems and practice management systems for effective revenue cycle management.I implemented CPT audits of the coding and claim submission cycle to validate billing operations using the Agile project management framework, increasing revenue by 17%, and reducing billing time by 23%. I evaluated metrics of patient treatment and health outcomes in EHR systems alongside ICD-10 billing data to track KPIs and generate a data warehouse in MySQL for improvement of continuity of care indices.

I performed patient physicals and took patient histories under physician supervision in a variety of specialties including dermatology, internal medicine, and pediatrics. I created scripts in Python 3 to analyze medical literature (from ISI Proceedings, JSTOR, and MEDLINE) in order to expedite case presentation research, and to use as a cross reference with collected patient data from progress notes for clinical studies.

Benjamin Chen Molecular Radiation Biology LabI performed irradiation assays and immunohistochemistry on treated cells to evaluate impact of RNAi pathways on DNA double strand break repair in cancer development of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC).

Kroener Cellular and Synaptic Physiology LabI studied the effects of alcohol addiction on glutamatergic synaptic transmission and NMDA receptors in the pre-frontal cortex by performing stereotactic surgical procedures on rats to target pharmacological drug delivery mechanisms in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) of the brain.I evaluated the interplay between back propagating action potentials and localized calcium spikes required for synaptic plasticity by performing immunohistochemistry assays on rat pre-frontal cortex and ventral tegmental area neurons after brain slicing.

Rabinovitch/Bland Laboratory for Cardiopulmonary ResearchI performed immunofluorescence assays, comet assays, and live animal trials to establish perturbed DNA transcription factor activity as part of a molecular pathway that leads to the developmental and inflammatory mechanisms of pulmonary arterial hypertension. I designed a comet assay protocol to standardize statistical analysis for consistent data visualization and interpretation.I co-authored a peer-reviewed publication in Cell Reports:Li, Caiyun G, et al. “PPARγ Interaction with UBR5/ATMIN Promotes DNA Repair to Maintain Endothelial Homeostasis.” Cell Reports, Vol 26. 29 Jan, 2019.
