Work experience
Research Data Scientist
New York University • Part-time
Mar 2026 - Present • 8 mos
Conducted independent research in machine learning and computational statistics at NYU’s Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences. Built a scalable Gaussian process classifier using MCMC methods (NeurIPS 2026 workshop paper). Developed a neural importance sampling framework in Python/JAX that achieved 39% Monte Carlo variance reduction. Designed and backtested cointegration-based trading strategies on S&P 500 equities. Core tools: Python, PyTorch, JAX, NumPy, Pandas, scikit-learn.
Research Assistant — Data Analysis
Northwestern University • Part-time
Mar 2019 - Mar 2020 • 1 yr
Built Python scripts to monitor 50k+ daily sensor readings from a physics experiment, performing real-time anomaly detection on temperature time series. Identified a systematic overnight anomaly through time-series analysis, leading to hardware repairs that recovered 2 hours of daily experiment time.
