Projects

Explore some of the projects I've worked on, showcasing a variety of skills and technologies.

Algorithmic Adventures II: The Exponential Creature Odyssey

This project entailed designing and analyzing advanced algorithms and data structures using C++. The project emphasized core concepts like algorithmic complexity and performance analysis while applying Object-Oriented Programming principles such as Templates, Inheritance, and Polymorphism. I developed and implemented algorithms, optimized performance, and expanded my skills in pointers and dynamic memory allocation to tackle complex problems efficiently.

Break Through Tech Machine Learning and AI - Cornell Tech

This project involved creating multiple machine learning projects using Python in Jupyter Notebooks. I developed models including KNN, Decision Trees, Logistic Regression, Linear Regression, Random Forest, Gradient Boosting, Neural Networks (NNs), Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), and Natural Language Processing (NLP). Projects included predicting customer churn, forecasting Airbnb listing prices, classifying handwritten digits with a CNN, and analyzing book reviews for sentiment in both supervised and unsupervised learning contexts.

Validation and Trend Analysis of Satellite-Derived Surface Water Temperature Observations

This research project focused on extracting and validating lake temperature data in the Adirondack Region using Landsat 5 and 7. Utilizing Python, I processed Landsat Level 2 Atmospherically Corrected surface reflectance data, applied cloud filters through Google Earth Engine, and integrated over 10,000 in-situ temperature data points from 135+ lakes. The project involved satellite temperature validation and trend analysis to assess the accuracy and reliability of satellite-derived temperature observations.

Research

Investigating the Impact of Climate Change on New York State's Lakes

In the 21st century, climate change poses a significant threat to New York State's natural resources, including over 3000 lakes and their watersheds. My research focuses on understanding and mitigating these impacts, particularly in the Adirondack Park. I utilize Landsat 5 and 7 to extract water quality data and integrating extensive in-situ data to validate satellite observations of Colored Dissolved Organic Matter (CDOM). My current work involves leveraging varied atmospheric correction algorithms and machine learning to predict CDOM and assess water quality changes. Tools and skills used include Python, JavaScript, Landsat Level 2 data, Google Earth Engine, ENVI, SNAP, QGIS, and Excel for data visualization, along with various machine learning algorithms like Random Forest Regression.
