Work Experience

Research Assistant, at Columbia University in the City of New York. [3/2013 – 5/2014]

Worked as data analyst and programmer and had independently finished some projects including but not limited:

Natural Language Processing: Semantic Analysis of Twitter Data. I conducted free-text data preprocessing,

tokenization, feature selection and classification with scikit-learn and nltk packages in Python.

Network Analysis & Mathematical Modeling: Breast Cancer Specific Network Study. I revised Random Forest

algorithm to infer the gene network from large numerical gene expression data and developed a novel method to predict

risky genes by applying Random Walker with Restart (RWR) algorithm on biological network and improved the

computing efficiency by transforming the data structure of sparse matrixes.

Software development& Algorithm Design: Ontology based Clinical Decision Support System App. I conducted

information retrieval to obtain patients’ symptom related data from electronic health records and employed Symptom

Ontology (SO) to construct a metric quantifying the similarity between diseases. I also coded the Clinical Decision

Support System App which allows users to input symptoms and then return diagnosis results.
