I am an Associate in Fraud Analytics at Avant, where I develop data-driven methods for fraud detection, risk assessment, and decision-making. My work focuses on applying statistical modeling and machine learning to real-world transactional data, with an emphasis on building robust, scalable systems.
Prior to this, I completed my Ph.D. in Physics at the University of California, Davis, where I worked on high-dimensional statistical inference and machine learning models in cosmology.
Some of my research interests are:
- Fraud detection and risk modeling
- Machine learning for decision systems
- Statistical inference and model evaluation
- Large-scale data analysis and experimentation
