The aim of this project is to develop a system to generate patrols for protecting endangered species from illegal poaching, uncontrolled extraction and / or harvesting (e.g., tigers, fisheries, pristine forests). I am the team leader of the wildlife project. I am working with a team of PhD students to develop the system and test it in the real world. One key difference with my previous project (TRUSTS) is the possibility to exploit the behavior of poachers and use machine learning to improve the scheduling system.
TRUSTS
November 1, 2013 – Present
My work in this project was that of the team leader. I have supervised a team of students and researchers to develop a system for generating intelligent randomized schedules to help the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department patrol the Los Angeles Metro Transit System. Our system, TRUSTS is composed of a centralized planner and of a smartphone application which can be used to visualize a schedule and to collect data. To evaluate this system, we also design a large scale real-world experiment whereby we tested the system in the field, in collaboration with the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department.
Orchid Project
September 1, 2011 – Present
My work in the project consited in developing ARGUS: a potential system for coordinating teams of unmanned aerial vehicles to provide live aerial imagery to the first responders at the scene of a disaster.
Aladdin Project
January 1, 2005 – December 1, 2010
My work in this project consisted in developing new algorithms for coordinating teams of multiple agents in a robust and decentralised fashion. In particular, I focused on generalising the well known known max-sum algorithm for coordinations for problems involving stochastic functions, or functions involving multiple conflicting objectives.
Cultural Fit Analysis
The candidate's background is heavily skewed towards AI/ML research and quantitative roles in finance, which indicates a strong analytical and results-driven mindset. The project diversity, ranging from academic research to real-world applications in security and finance, suggests adaptability. However, the target role of 'Data Analyst' might be a step down from their extensive experience as a Senior Machine Learning/Quant Scientist and Team Lead, potentially leading to a mismatch in expectations or underutilization of their advanced skills. The lack of specific data analyst tools or domain-specific project details (beyond AI/ML modeling) makes it harder to assess direct cultural fit for a pure data analyst role.
Soft Skills & Operational Fit
The candidate demonstrates strong leadership and collaboration skills through their roles as team leader and manager in various projects and companies. Their research background suggests strong problem-solving and analytical capabilities. The descriptions indicate an ability to work in complex, real-world environments and manage teams effectively.
