Experience
- Active Learning Research: Department of Computer Sciences at George Mason University
Active learning is a special case of machine learning in which a learning algorithm is able to interactively query the user (or some other information source) to obtain the desired outputs at new data points. In statistics literature, it is sometimes also called optimal experimental design. [Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_learning_(machine_learning)]
- Renewable Energy Market Trading Optimization
Designed and developed Greensmith Energy's first real-time energy market trading process that makes use of advanced optimization models. Successful 30-day operational test by the world's largest producer of electricity, Électricité de France (EDF: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Électricité_de_France) in a CAISO five-minute real-time energy market simulator.
