MAJOR PROJECTS

FACIAL RECOGNITION SOFTWARE

• Worked in a group to design a facial recognition software using a neural network

                –     Responsible for design strategies to accomplish objectives.

                –     Designed a custom neural network and trained the model several datasets.

                –     Achieved 88% accuracy at detecting faces in camera view.

DRUG RESISTANCE IN TUBERCULOSIS

• Lead project to predict drug resistance of Tuberculosis

                –     Researched and implemented various machine learning techniques.

                –     Gathered and preprocessed gigabytes of data for training and testing.

                –     Utilized feature engineering techniques to classify data by mutations.

                –     85% accuracy in predicting whether a strain of Tuberculosis was drug resistant.

PREDICT MIRNA-DISEASE ASSOCIATIONS

• Used several neural networks to predict if miRNA mutation leads to disease

                –     Collected and compiled data from several databases into graph data structures.

                –     Designed auto-encoders for data extraction.

                –     Designed CNN to take miRNA mutations and output disease relationship.

                –     Scored 4% higher than several state-of-the-art models.
