Specialization: Data science applications in machine learning and AI
His current focus areas in the data sciences are: advanced analytical modeling of real-time processes; elementary AI applications; data fusion and Total quality Data Management (TqDM), statistical visualization; real-time predictive analytics, and real-time statistical process control (SPC). Specific applications in the data sciences are focused on real-time predictions of product attributes for sustainable biomaterials using a host of algorithms that process in parallel. Past research projects have resulted in successful prediction of tensile strength and modulus of sustainable biomaterials in validation within 10% RMSEP. Algorithms currently being studied are Bayesian Additive Regression Trees (BART), deep learning NN with generalized bounds, bootstrap forests and boosted trees. Variable preselection using genetic algorithms (GA) with deep learning NN is also under investigation. Real-time data fusion and TQDM are essential foundations to advanced analytical modeling of real-time processes. Studies are ongoing in the fusion of multiple networked data sources with varying record lengths and time-lagging. Imputation methods are also being studied as a critical component of TQDM. Statistical process control (SPC) applications include: 'control bands for data signatures and footprints'; multivariate control charts; and the development of autocorrelated control charts. He teaches highly successful industry courses in ‘Advanced Analytics and Data Mining,’ ‘Process Analytics, Statistical Process Control | Lean Methods,’ and ‘Design of Experiments.’
Data Science as applied to the 'SMART' manufacturing and agriculture. Concentrations are in Total quality Data Management (TqDM), machine learning and AI applied sciences. Real-time predictive analytics and statistical process control (SPC).
- 1. The greedy algorithm partition problem, i.e., minimizing the generalized error of prediction using algorithms related to BART, bootstrap forests and boosted trees.
- 2. Bridging the gap between theoretical data science research in machine learning and AI, to applied research and direct applications in SMART manufacturing and SMART agriculture
- 3. Enhanced fusion of tree-based algorithms to improve design of experiments (DOE) for rapid innovation
- 4. Real-time data fusion and data quality assessment and improvement to enhance Total quality Data Management (TqDM)
