Data Science Projects

Various personal and professional data science projects.

Bayesian-Optimized HDBSCAN Clustering

Python • Pandas • Scikit-Learn • NumPy

Built a Bayesian-optimized HDBSCAN clustering algorithm for particle identification in nuclear physics experiments.

TALYS Simulation

Python • SciPy • TALYS • Nuclear Physics

Used the TALYS program to simulate neutron capture in tin and other nuclei to investigate how the gamma strength function (GSF), level density, and optical model potential (OMP) models impact reaction cross sections and astrophysical rates. Used Bayesian approach to fit GSF and extract the location of important resonances.

Bayesian-Calibration of the Liquid-Drop Model

Python • emcee • SciPy • Physics

Calibrated the Liquid Drop Model and compared the results of opt.curve_fit with a principled Bayesian one. The Bayesian approach was implemented with the emcee package in Python.
