About
A bit about me:
I am a geoscientist, materials scientist, and data scientist. My professional interests center around the beautiful things at the intersection of chemistry, crystal symmetry, quantum physics, and electromagnetics. In addition, I have a strong allergy to redoing work (my own or other people’s) and prefer that No Data Be Left Behind.

The projects that I’m involved with on Github (July 2020):
- thermal-expansion: I have started a Python project to interpret thermal expansion data based on a small collaboration with my old master’s thesis advisor, Anne Hofmeister. It operates on data from a Netszch dilatometer.
- Landsat8Landscaping: Using bands 1-7 from Landsat 8, I have done a PCA analysis to reduce the spectral data to three dimensions, visualized it, and used it to construct landscape classification and segmentation algorithms.
- JeepForumNLP: Scraping and CorEx evaluation of posts from jeepforum.com. The technical terms that come up in forums like this make interesting fodder for topic evaluations.
- IgneousEons: A classification analysis to search for patterns in igneous rock chemistry by geologic eon. Project 3 for Metis.
- MetisBaseball: A regression analysis on Major League Baseball attendance, 1920-2019. Project 2 for Metis.
- MetisMTAProject: A regression analysis on the distribution of hospitals relative to New York MTA train stations and traffic. Project 1 for Metis.
