About

Research-focused AI/ML candidate who built an fMRI-based classifier to predict schizophrenia treatment effectiveness under small-dataset constraints. Demonstrated pragmatic model selection by moving from a complex GNN to graph-summary feature engineering with logistic regression, significantly improving accuracy and AUC; primarily works in Google Colab with script-based workflows.

Key Strengths

  • Improved model performance by simplifying from GNN to engineered graph-summary features + logistic regression
  • Experience building high-accuracy classifiers on small, privacy-constrained medical datasets
  • Strong focus on appropriate evaluation for imbalanced data (AUC over accuracy)
  • Iterative experimentation across augmentation (Mixup), preprocessing, and hyperparameter/architecture choices
