Experience

Department of Computer Science | University of Houston Data Science / Analytics
Associate Professor
1/2002 - Present
Selected Projects:
▪Incorporating Machine learning Techniques in the Insurance Industry, Virtual I, Switzerland (202o-2022) Providing consulting services in predicting potential outcomes on insurance policies to aid underwriters when making decisions. The proposed models are created with simulated data and are automatically updated as new data arrives from customers' claims. University of Houston (2015 – 2019) Employed machine learning to develop a software tool for classifying astronomical objects. This method used domain adaptation which increased adaptability to new tasks over variable data distribution, as with the automatic classification of Supernova Ia.
▪Data Mining Techniques Applied to Seismic Data University of Houston/Repsol (2013 – 2014) Contributed to the development of a high-accuracy software solution model that automatically identifies and delineates geological elements from seismic data. The method implements machine learning techniques such as supervised learning t

Rice University Data Science / Analytics
Adjunct Associate Professor
1/2020 - 1/2021
Teaching classes in statistical machine learning at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.

IBM T. J. Watson Research Center Research
Researcher
1/1998 - 1/2002
Development of predictive algorithms applied to systems management that alert the user of potential failures.
The system performs long-term prediction of performance variables (e.g., disk utilization), short-term prediction of abnormal behavior (e.g., thresh-old violations), and prediction of system events (e.g., router failure).
