Parkinson’s Disease (PD) Patient Classi cation and Prediction Jan - Apr 2018

Built a pipeline to extract, transform, and load Parkinson’s Progression Markers Initiative (PPMI) dataset using Apache Spark with Scala.

Used Python scikit-learn to conduct feature selection, algorithm selection, cross validation, and param- eter tuning. Increased model accuracy of early stage PD patient classi cation from 89% to 97%. Make Creating Meetup Events Faster for Event Hosts Mar - Aug 2018

Built a web application by PHP with Google Map to booster creating meetup events for event hosts by providing venue & member recommendation according to their input of category and topic.

Led and coordinated project members to scrape Meetup data of 150,000+ past events, 3,500 groups, in 50 cities and 30,000+ members in the greater Atlanta Area by Python with Meetup API, cleaned data with OpenRe ne, and built database with SQL.

Applied PCA to reduce the dimension of the dataset and conducted K-means algorithm using Python to cluster venues based on the interest topics of the group which hosting the event.

Received positive feedback from target users about e ciency and user friendliness of the web Application. Identify Fraud from Enron Email Feb - May 2017

Examined and cleaned 500,000+ emails from 146 employees of the Enron Corporation.

Optimized hyperparameter of Random Forest, Naive Bayes, SVM algorithms using Python.

Improved the F1 score of the classi er from 0.36 to 0.7 by creating new features and selecting features with high variance.

Wrangling OpenStreetMap (OSM) Data Aug - Oct 2017

Performed data wrangling on unstructured data with Python. Parsed GBs of XML le, processed missing values, audited data quality of 4,220,611 nodes and 540,346 ways.

Reported that the most popular cuisine in the area is American food, and only 0.25% of the street have sidewalk information.

Proposed a leisure facility map by querying facility information in OSM data. EXPERIENCE

Graduate Research Assistant, Georgia Tech Jan 2015 - Dec 2017
