I got my PhD in 2012 at the University of Rochester. As a PhD student and then as a postdoctoral researcher in physics I developed my computational and analytical skills including machine learning tools like logistic regression and random forests and feature extraction using correlation, principle component analysis and linear discriminant analysis.
In June of 2016 I became an Insight Data Science fellow. As a fellow I developed a user friendly web application, NerdVentures!, and created strong relationships with mentors in a network of over 400 employed data scientists at places like Facebook, LinkedIn and Netflix. Currently I am part of a multidisciplinary team developing state of the art LiDAR sensors for autonomous vehicles at Uber.
