Machine Learning / Data Science Focus
Projects
Crop Disease Severity Prediction – (NC State Graduate Research Project)
Implemented custom CNN to predict corn crop disease severity from drone images.
Developed image augmentation preprocessing with segmentation and CLAHE to overcome noisy,
real-world nature of drone images. Research involved both regression and classification
modeling and hyperparameter tuning using Optuna.
Prosthetic Gait Analysis – (NC State Graduate Course Project)
Implemented a custom PyTorch 1D CNN-LSTM model to analyze robotic prosthetic telemetry data
to predict the type of terrain users are walking on. MLflow used for model architecture and
training analysis.
