Reinforcement Learning

Currently researching the combination of control theory and reinforcement learning. In addition looking at choosing decision policies over adaptive temporal horizons.

Healthcare

Researched machine learning techniques for survival analysis, disease prediction, and cost analysis in healthcare. Applied new methods for training gradient boosted trees and recurrent neural networks to large healthcare datasets. Also developed high dimensional disease embeddings based on the field of natural language processing.

• Forward Thinking: Building and Training Neural Networks One Layer at a Time
• Code2Vec: Embedding and Clustering Medical Diagnosis Data

Graph Theory

Explored graph symmetries and automorphisms. This is used to model the redundancies and patterns of large scale networks, allowing for both forecasting and separation of dynamical systems.
