About Me

Seeking Employment in Data Science / Machine Learning

Knowledgeable graduate looking to utilize and develop existing skill set in a Data Science or Machine Learning position. Respected leader with years of teaching experience at numerous levels. Proven problem solving abilities displayed by an extensive research track record. Highly motivated, concurrently pursued two doctoral degrees

Ph.D. in Computer Science
August 2018 - December 2021

I completed my Ph.D. at the University of South Carolina in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering. Jason O'Kane advised me in discovering more about Visibility-Based Multi-Robot Pursuit-Evasion problems, including innovative sampling ideas and robustness.

Ph.D. in Mathematics
August 2016 - May 2020

I earned a Ph.D. from the University of South Carolina in the Department of Mathematics. Éva Czabarka and László Székely co-advised me in exploring graph invariants in triangulations and quadrangulations of the sphere.

Other Education
August 2009 - May 2015
