  • Applied unsupervised deep learning approaches to longitudinal ICU data to discover novel sepsis sub-phenotypes

Projects

Data-Driven EEG Band Discovery with Decision Trees

Publication

Developed objective strategy for discovering optimal EEG bands based on signal power spectra using Python. This data-driven approach led to better characterization of the underlying power spectrum by identifying bands that outperformed the more commonly used band boundaries by a factor of two. The proposed method provides a fully automated and flexible approach to capturing key signal components and possibly discovering new indices of brain activity.

EEG Band Discovery

Decoding Physical and Cognitive Impacts of Particulate Matter Concentrations at Ultra-Fine Scales

Publication

Used Matlab to train over 100 machine learning models which estimated particulate matter concentrations based on a suite of over 300 biometric variables. We found biometric variables can be used to accurately estimate particulate matter concentrations at ultra-fine spatial scales with high fidelity (r2 = 0.91) and that smaller particles are better estimated than larger ones. Inferring environmental conditions solely from biometric measurements allows us to disentangle key interactions between the environment and the body.
