EXPERIENCES
University of California Riverside, Research Assistant, Riversdie, CA, 2014 to Current
Developed my research experience by collaboration with excellent researchers in nding solutions to highly challenging quantitative problems such as:
Wireless Communications Secrecy: Proposed a new perspective into the security of wireless channels by distinguishing between the di erent statistical estimation methods an eavesdropper can
use to decode the stolen information. Provided numerical results with Matlab using Monte Carlo simulations. The proposed framework maintains secrecy even if the eavesdropper is super capable.
Power Outage Prediction: Collaborated remotely with a fellow data scientist on a paper proposing the rst-ever model to predict the number of monthly vegetation-related outages in power
distribution lines. Achieved normalized mean absolute error as low as 0.1 using a novel hybrid model of time series analysis and nonlinear regression. Performed data analysis such as clustering,
outlier detection, missing value imputation, SVM, Random Forrest, Neural Networks regression, ARIMA and Holt-Winters time series analysis using python libraries such as Pandas, Matplotlib,
NumPy, and Scikit-Learn.
Dimensionality Reduction: Conducted a thorough investigation of Sparse Representation Based Face Recognition.

PROJECTS
Intent Classification (NLP)
Achieved 99% accuracy classifying 7 classes of written commands using deep learning with Keras. Explored di erent variations of both RNN and CNN architectures in conjunction with Dropout, Dense, and
Embedding (using GloVe word embeddings) layers to achieve the best results.
