I am a Data Scientist at American Express, working on applying machine learning and statistical modeling to real-world financial and customer behavior problems.
I completed my Ph.D. at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in 2025, where my research focused on machine learning for prognostics, reliability, and survival analysis, with applications in remaining useful life (RUL) prediction and industrial systems.
My interests sit at the intersection of:
- 📊 Applied machine learning & data science
- 🔍 Risk modeling, prediction, and decision support
- 🧠 Deep learning for time series & survival analysis
- 🛠️ Translating research models into production-ready solutions
