Education

Ph.D. Candidate, Computer Science
Louisiana State University
2015-Present
Key research activities include design and implementation of Parallel Coordinates Plot for multidimensional data analysis, end-to-end development of web-platform for modeling, visualization, and analysis purposes by conducting periodic feedback and project milestone presentation sessions with domain experts. Data is collected from various published sources and is made available for researchers along with providing various analytics and modeling tools. Developed using silicate melt viscosity data as an example. Modeling is done using various Machine Learning techniques. Models include - SVM, Decision Tree, XGBoost, and Neural Networks. Published work in "Parallel Coordinates-based Visual Analytics for Materials Property" (2019). Pages 83-95.
