EXPERIENCE

08/06-12/07 Master's Research Project, Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond VA

Master's Thesis: Discrete Principal Component Analysis

Conceptualized and created a new approach to optimize the discrete

Principal component analysis by reducing impact of outliers in explaining

variance in a dataset. Approach improves the performances of the analysis

significantly especially if dataset has big outliers.

Coursework Projects

Created a multiple regression model using SAS to determine President's

salary of Private Colleges in USA.

Developed discrete event based simulation model to optimize cost of VCU

health center by appropriately allocating resources to various processes.

Consulted a local restaurant in improving profit using optimization

theories. Developed solution using queuing theory based model to optimize

revenue and cost.

Developed simplex based linear model to optimize scheduling of available

faculty hours in University English Department
