PhD Research Assistant Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Smart Impact Mitigation and Mechanics Research Group － Worcester, MA
  • Architected a framework, including modeling, forecasting and monitoring, for ocean wave characteristic analysis based on wave height data.
  • Developed a nonlinear autoregressive and moving average (NARMA) model to predict the time series of ocean wave height in real time.
  • Investigated an ocean wave analysis algorithm with the integration of time frequency analysis and clustering algorithm.
  • Established several feature extraction models using autoregressive (AR), principal component analysis (PCA) and independent component analysis (ICA) analysis to interpret the ocean wave characteristics.
  • Constructed a decision making model to the classification of the different ocean wave features using support vector machines (SVM) with cross validation and gradient search.
  • Project Prediction of House Price in Boston.
  • Developed a regression prediction model using several machine learning algorithms to forecast prices of house in the suburbs of Boston using UCI Boston Housing Dataset.
  • Applied feature selection methods to remove the correlated attributes and reduce the effect of differing scales and distribution.
  • Compared several regression algorithms via cross validation to select the optimal one based on mean squared error.
  • Improved the algorithm using grid search and achieved 88% prediction accuracy Prediction of Lending Club loan defaults.
  • Developed a machine learning model to predict whether loans will default or not using 4 years loans data.
  • Preprocessed the data by analyzing 42537 instances with 52 features for the model.
  • Explored the data by selecting the useful features and transferring the data to made it ready for the model.
  • Applied the random forest algorithm to predict whether loans will default or not Forecasting bike sharing demand in the Capital Bikeshare program.
  • Built a machine learning model to predict bike rental demand using 2 years hourly rental data.
  • Explored and visualized 10886 instances with 16 features using statistical methods.
  • Applied features engineering to create essential features that make model work.
  • Implemented gradient boosting regression tree to predict the rental demand.
