Ph.D. Researcher Assistant

Iowa State University

  • Worked independently to research and develop new ML models to detect and classify nano-domains structure of super-cooled liquids and glass-former materials.
  • Collaborated with postdocs to build an extensive theoretical framework by implementing numerous statistical data analysis techniques to achieve super-resolution images for nonblinking point-sources using higher-order-mode detection and optical heterodyning.
  • Solid background in mathematics and statistical physics.
  • Expertise to analyze and perform numerical and statistical data analysis techniques such as maximum likelihood optimization, regression models, etc., both in MATLAB and Python.
  • Proficiency in writing scientific codes with Python to be useful and reproducible by using Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) and building a package.
  • Solid background knowledge of Machine Learning both in concepts and implementation of a variety of techniques in both supervised and unsupervised learning such as clustering analysis, Principal Component Analysis, Gaussian Mixture, SVM, etc.
  • Experience working with data science toolkits such as EDA, Pandas, SQL, Numpy, SciKit-Learn, Scipy and tools like Matplotlib and Seaborn for data visualization.
  • Mastered at performing molecular dynamics simulations using LAMMPS.
  • Experience and familiarity with AI, BASH, Linux/Unix, GitHub, LaTeX, OpenMPI/HPC.
