Through my academic career at the University of Washington, Seattle (UW) and the University of California, Riveride (UCR), I have led multiple research projects that have laid a strong foundation for a career in data science.
For example, the GIF on the right shows the cosmic evolution of intergalactic gas over billions of years. This is part of the dataset I created to train a "super-resolution" generative AI model.
I have done various personal projects that generally fall into one or more of the following categories: (1) Generalizing data science skills learned in astrophysics to new problems applicable over a variety of business domains (2) Addressing weaknesses that weren't developed fully during my PhD (3) Simply because it is fun and interesting to me.
For example, the GIF on the left shows the training progress of a generative AI model that synthesizes images to augment medical datasets.
