EXPERIENCE AND RESEARCH

Research Assistantship

Auburn University

Sep. 2017 - Present Auburn, AL

•PredictiveModeling,GRA

Used state of the art Machine/Deep learning techniques, Kalman filtering, and statistical techniques to predict bus travel time and prevent bus bunching problems.

•Surrogate-Based Optimization and Metamodeling, GRA

- Developed an algorithm which improves the efficiency of kriging using clustering and parallel computing.

- Developed and implemented a simulation metamodel to estimate risk measures using extreme value theory.

•GraphMining,GRA

Used and modified state of the art algorithms such as Graph Convolutional Networks (GCN) for Network Embedding and further graph alignment purpose over huge datasets such as arXiv, dblp, and Acm.
