CLAN Labs Graduate Student Researcher (Mar 2021 - )
• Working on building an R package to learn chain graphs
• Implementing novel algorithms developed by a post-doctorial researcher
• Bnlean, pcalg packages are used
• Tools: R, C++
Dauch Centre for Management of Manufacturing Enterprises Research Assistant (Oct 2020 - )
• Built a minimum cost network flow problem using linear programming
• The model built is used to fill the slack capacity of suppliers in West Lafayette region
• The model is expected to process $1M in transactions when deployed.
• Python pulp library along with a database of suppliers is used to build the model in AWS EC2 instance.
• Currently working on testing the scalability of the model Tools: Python, SQL
Purdue University (Lafayette Police Department) Student Consultant (Jun 2020 – Aug 2020)
• Mapped the complete process flow of LPD using Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN)
• Cleaned the data provided by LPD and performed exploratory analysis using Jupyter Notebook
• Analysed the time spent at each step of the call using LPD database, Python Pandas library and Excel
• Identified a discrepancy which saves LPD up to 1131 paid hours of cost PROJECTS
