Publications: Stock Market prediction analysis
Analyzed Market models by doing a quantitative analysis of large stock market indices crashes for the
S&P500.
Previous data was researched and analyzed for patterns.
Linear regression lines were modeled and used to predict the upcoming pattern to see if the market
would up rise again or not.
Paper has been submitted to the IJMTT Journal and has been published in the January 2014
Volume 5.
The project has been continued by another student which will be published in the Mcnairs Scholars
Journal.

Project
Experience: Quiet Supersonic Jet for Detail Design, member of a seven person team
Worked on a Quiet Supersonic Jet as a senior design project.
Proposed a Landing Gear Design to be used in the aircraft.
Design the Struts that were used in the proposed landing gear designed.
Design was strictly based on FAA regulations.
Structural Optimization Project, member of a two person team
Created an Optimized Model for a Tandem wing Tethered Aircraft.
Designed the Spars and the Brackets For the Fuselage.
Programming Languages Such as Ansys, Nastran and Heeds were used in the design process.
Linear Programming was used to create objective functions and constraints.
Pitch Atitude Hold Control Law for the F-4 Phantom, member of a six person team
Stabilized The F-4 phantom in a group project.
Designed the pitch attitude control law for the F-4 phantom.
Programing Languages such as Simulink and Matlab were used in the design process.
Numerical Analysis Methods Such as Runge-Kutta Method was also used in the design process.
Stability and Control Project for the DA-20, member of a five person team
Stabilized The DA-20 in a group project.
Calculated the stability derivatives for it for a required altitude.
Programing Languages such as Flight Gear, Datcom and Matlab were used in the design process.
Research
Student Research Assistant, Acoustic’s Research at Math department January 2010 – Present
Experience:
Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Daytona Beach, FL
Analyzed and did Fourier Analyses Study on Sound Waves Produced by Big Cats as well as
interpreting them.
A Voice recording mike and a storage computer device was used to collect data.
First House cats were used then big cats.
Fourier analysis was used to analyze the sound to filter out the noise by surrounding and then
interpreting the noise.
January 2010 – May 2012
Student Research Assistant, Viscous Liquids at Math Department
Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Daytona Beach, FL
Analyzed Model equations for long waves in Non-Linear Dispersive systems on a Viscous Liquid.
Previous studies were researched where sound were propagated through a viscous liquid like oil.
Newton’s Equation was used in the Solution process.
Used Frobenius method to aid in the solution process of Newton’s equation for every situation
researched with assumptions.
January 2010–May 2012
Student Research Assistant, Magnetic Waves at Math Department
Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Daytona Beach, FL
Mathematical Analysis on the Propagation of Magnetic Waves.
Fourier analysis was used in the study process to solve the wave equation for the magnetic equation.
Magnetic Wave equation was also used to understand the propagation of the waves as used in
physics.
August 2008 – May2010
Student Research Assistant, Solar Radiations at Physics Departmetn
Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Daytona Beach, FL
Worked at the Space Physics Research lab with experienced Physics professors.
Analyzed and trouble shoot optical instruments like the Filter-Wheel Photometer.
Emitted radiations (i.e. photons) from the sun are recorded by the Filter-Wheel Photometer.
Recorded data was used to analyze the suns activities.
Work
May 2009 – May 2012
Experience: Tutor and Grader
Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Daytona Beach, FL
Worked at the Women's and Diversity Center, Unified tutoring Center and Matrix Lab as a student
tutor and teaching assistant.
Helped students better understand concepts in Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and engineering
classes.
Graded homework assignments for Mathematics professors and Proctored final exams.
Jan 2012 – Present
