WORK EXPERIENCE

Masters Technical Report

University of Georgia - January 2013 to Present

Jan'13 - Present

Mortgage Backed Securities

• Studying different types of pay rules along with different ways of allocating principal among various CMO

bonds and interest being allocated among bonds. It describes some of the commonly used methods of

modeling prepayment behaviors. To implement this, I have used the model

proposed by Richard and Roll (1989) and examine different term structure models for use in pricing MBS and

CMO structures

• Analyzing the MBS data for a decade from Federal Reserve using SAS in order to determine the most

significant parameters for the stochastic

model using various approaches such as principal component analysis etc.

Graduate Teaching Assistant

University of Georgia - Athens, GA - August 2011 to Present

Conducting and coordinating recitations for Analytic Geometry and Calculus, mentoring students with course

webassign, administer Quizzes

• Tutoring mathematics courses including Pre-Calculus, Calculus and Multivariable Calculus, Introduction to

Mathematical Modeling, Elementary

Differential Equations. Created and evaluated Homework assignments, Quizzes/Tests for Linear Algebra,

Calculus

Summer Intern

University of Georgia - Athens, GA - May 2012 to July 2012

Programmed various mathematical models (system of partial differential equations) constructed on Microbial

Fuel Cells (MFC)

• Formulated and defined scope and objectives through researched analysis of MFC structures, construction,

performance and degradation with various model solutions and numerical techniques using MAPLE and

MATLAB

• Responsible for Quality Assurance and integrity of data collected, analysis performed and reports generated

• Compiled the effects of different components used in MFC, compared model simulations with experimental

results which addressed issues relating to enhancement of power output and efficiency

Projects

University of Georgia - May 2012 to July 2012

Estimated mortality rates using Multiple Linear Regression regressed around the three categories of weather,

socioeconomic and pollution

variables. Analyzed multicollinearity, conducted residual analysis, built the appropriate model using stepwise

regression and based on various test

results (F-test and p-values etc.)

Statistical analysis of Cell phone usage Oct'12 - Dec'12

• Analyzed the monthly cell phone usage of 1000 users from user's location, age, race, sex and educational

background using General Linear Model to explain the response variable, i.e. the measure of monthly cell

phone usage by the 5 demographic variables or some subsets. Full effect model,

single effect model and model with interaction were studied and a suitable model was selected using various

tests statistics and criterion (LSD test,

AIC/BIC etc.)
