I am a Data Scientist in the Space Mission Analysis Branch at NASA, affiliated with the System Analysis and Concepts Directorate. I am interested in machine learning and artificial intelligence, particularly in the application of supervised and unsupervised learning methods to space data analysis. My research goal is to better understand predictive modeling techniques, such as regression analysis and classification algorithms, and build advanced algorithms capable of handling large-scale datasets from space missions to support space mission planning and analysis.
