Basic Information

I just completed an MS in Statistics at Ohio State University in May of 2019. I graduated from the same university with a BS in Data Analytics 2 years prior in the spring of 2017. During my time at Ohio State, I conducted research in the Data Mining Laboratory on applications of semi-supervised learning for disaster relief. I was advised by Professor of Computer Science, Srinivasan Parthasarathy.

Interests

I am interesting in Time Series data analysis. By the summer of 2021, I will have a strong applied and theoretical working knowledge in this area. Besides time series, I also study data structures and algorithms, and enjoy problem solving on Leetcode in my spare time.
