EXPERIENCE
iOmics Corporation (Data Science Intern), MA Mar 2017 – Present
Feature selection schema development combining 10 machine learning technics with proper thresholds, weights and scalers in Python. Reduce 80 processing time without accuracy drop-down
Organized machine leaning and deep learning algorithms, report and present to the team for chosen
Convolutional neural network, Long-Short Term Memory Networks and Relational networks implementation,
Academic literature review and implement, focus on explainable Artificial Intelligence
Pfizer Inc. (Software Engineer Contractor), CT Jan 2017 – May 2017
Designed and executed an integration of their most-used chemical reaction simulation engine (Aspen Properties) with an enterprise-grade data analysis and reporting environment (Pipeline Pilot)
Designed and built visualization components in Pipeline Pilot for simulation outputs from Aspen Properties
Integrated all needed elements into a Pipeline Pilot-hosted Predictive Tools web app and web service
Saved Processing time from 6 minutes to 5 seconds with better stability and easier input format
Worcester Polytechnic Institute (Teaching Assistant), MA Jan 2017 – May 2017
Paper grader for MA529: Stochastic Process; Set up code of points for homework based on the difficulty for each problem, graded students’ homework with consistency standards
Provide feedback to instructor about lecture context and students’ grasping state
PROJECTS
Non-linear Filtering (Independent Research) May 2016 – May 2017
Worked on a team of two to study filtering methods and decide how to apply them to certain scenarios
Estimated bond yields based on historical with different maturity dates using linear Gaussian interest rate models. Improved the benchmark mean square error by 10%+. Did multiple trials within the same model using Kalman Filter, unscented Kalman filter and Particle Filters to analyze advantages and limits of these methods
Performed various simulations and estimations using MATLAB
Android Application Development Aug 2016 – Dec 2016
Established a database of campus rooms, users and library books using DB Browser and SQL quires, uploaded the database to Amazon AWS for using
Designed an android application using Android Studio and the databased created
Tested demo, discussed security problems and future possibilities
Market and Credit Risk Models and Management Dec 2015
Designed a small Collateralized Debt Obligation (CDO) using R to have a package of 20 bonds separated into 3 tranches, Equity, Mezzanine and Senior to make waterfall payments to investors to transfer credit risk
Concluded that bonds with student t distribution and lower correlation have more precise predictions, demonstrated how different distributions could affect the estimation of bonds by using Gauss copula and Student t copula
