About me

I am a 4th year undergraduate student at University of California, Berkeley, double majoring in Computer Science and Economics . I am part of Berkeley's EECS Honors Degree Program , with concentration in Economics.

I am interested in exploring the end-to-end pipeline of data engineering/machine learning, from the backend distributed computing + cloud platform powering data analytics to the machine learning algorithms/data visualization tools which give people actionable insights. I am also interested in using computer science to solve a range of social science problems. Please refer to the research section for my past and on-going researches. Aside from that, I worked as a Software Engineering Intern at Moody's Analtycis for two summers on the big data pipeline. I spent my junior summer at Amazon working on the Dynamic Configuration Technologies platform. In my spare time, you can find me playing soccer at Berkeley Marina.

Research

I am currently a researcher in Professor Daniel Kammen's Renewable & Appropriate Energy Laboratory, supervised by him and Dr.Deborah Sunter. I worked on over 1 PB of wind trubine sensor data all across U.S. The goal is to use machine learning clustering algorithm to cluster the data and build wind farms such that wind turbine with close geospatial location and sensor patterns will be grouped together. This research problem is an extension from the image segmentation problem (constructing the super pixels), where the color attributes are replaced by the more complicated time series sensor readings. It can be extended to cluster sensor data in a variety of areas, such as wave energy, solor power, or even IoT. A paper is in progress.

Previously, I worked in the Berkeley Institute for Data Science on the Ecostations Data Access Monitor(EDAM) project, which involves online data mining, data visualization, and data query support for searching species data. I also spent a year working at Berkeley Haas School of Business on the International Movie Database(IMDb) datasets for all movies in human history.

Teaching

I was a Teaching Assistant for CS61A, one of the largest and most popular introductory computer science class at Berkeley.

I was also the founding mentor of the Berkeley Computer Science Mentors group , which provides tutoring service for many computer science classes at Berkeley.
