Hail to the Victors
I just spent the weekend in Ann Arbor, with a few friends from LGO and went to one of the best football games I’ve ever seen in person (Michigan vs. Notre Dame). Final score, 38-34, and it came down to the last drive.
Check out my youtube video of the winning set of downs from where we were sitting. I didn’t get such great shots of the actual plays, but you get a sense of the atmosphere (insane!)
I’m cautiously dipping my toes into the college football water, and I think I’m going to start following Michigan. Being from Boston, and going to school at Harvard, I never really had a Division 1 program to really get into (BC is a non-starter). But there’s about 8 people in LGO who went to Michigan as undergrads, and after going to this game at the Big House I liked the vibe around the campus and in the stadium (which seats about 110,000!).
I am generally interested in the application of machine learning to aid decision making, and specifically interested in developing probabilistic models of systems in order to aid modelling and simulation. Recently, I have done research in the area of airspace safety, working in the Surveillance Systems group at MIT Lincoln Laboratory. I mainly worked in the TCAS and UAV mission areas, specifically in terms of collision avoidance systems. In the past, I have researched the application of machine learning algorithms to the care of patients with chronic disease such as diabetes and hypertension. As an LGO fellow, I hope to research how machine learning can improve efficiency and lower risk in manufacturing and/or supply chain operations.
