Presentation - Data Scientist

Recently graduated from the University of Massachusetts - Amherst with a Master’s degree in Statistics and Data Science and a specialization in Computer Sciences. I received my bachelor’s in mathematics from Paris-Sciences and Letters Research University (ranked 2nd best French University in the 2020 Shanghai Rankings). Along with my general classwork, I have developed a strong academic training to solve real business problems by building robust models and performing meaningful and verifiable quantitative analysis. My expertise in data and analytics allows me to translate data into information, and answering business questions (data requirements specification, data cleaning & EDA, hypotheses testing, story building, visualization & communication to stakeholders).

Projects

Survival Analysis: Partnered with medical professionals from the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania (HUP) to research Survival Analysis of decannulations after patients underwent tracheotomy. Compared Kaplan-Meier curves, Cox Proportional Hazards (Cox-PH) model and Accelerated Failure Time (AFT) model in RStudio.
Batch-Effect measure: Compared k-BET method with different test metrics for detecting single-cell RNA-seq batch effects. Used to quantify batch-effect removal such as Combat, Seurat’s canonical correlation analysis and projection of mutual nearest neighbor. Compared two simulated datasets from mild to strong batch-effects.
Worldwide Trends in Covid-19: Created interactive visualization including a combination of connected graph (choropleth map, a bar chart, etc.) to illustrate trends in Covid-19 since January 1, 2020, using JavaScript (D3.js (v6)) for plots and Leaflet combined with Mapbox for maps.
Gender's Transformation of people’s face using CycleGAN: Implemented a model to generate gender swap on people’s from an unpaired dataset with Cycle Generative Adversarial Network (GAN).
NMF - Cosine Movie Recommender: Developed movie recommendation algorithm combining the collaborative filtering approach of non-Negative Matrix Factorization, NMF, (with Surprise library in Python) with the content filtering approach of cosine similarity (with scikit-learn in Python).
Shiny App: Designed visualizations of U.S. Mass Shootings with Shiny App with server-side linking with shiny and plotly.
