My passion is in the area of applying machine learning algorithms to solve real world problems. Prior to NVIDIA, I am a machine learning engineer at Foxconn, took the lead of the analytical team, developed various kinds of predictive modeling projects centered around manufacturing processes, including defect inspection and predictive maintenance, etc. During Ph.D. program, I worked as a visiting scholar at Los Alamos National Laboratory's Bio Science Team for 2 years, working on Human and Environmental Microbiome Projects.

Naive Bayesian classifiers with multinomial models for rRNA taxonomy asignment
September 1, 2013 – Present
Naïve Bayesain classifiers are a popular tool for classifying gene sequence in metagenomics. The Ribosomal Database Project launched by MSU, developed the RDP classifier, which firstly utilized Naïve Bayesain classifier to classify 16S rRNA reads. The RDP classifier employs a binomial approach to estimate the occurrence probabilities of 8-mer nucleotides from training data. The Laplace’s estimate and the m-estimate approach are two general approaches to avoid having a zero value for a specific probability estimate. These two approaches are both special cases of assuming noninformative Dirichlet priors, and that nonin-formative generalized Dirichlet priors is an even better choice for the naïve Bayesian classifier. Since the computation of the expected values of the variables in a high-dimensional generalized Dirichlet ran-dom vector can be time-consuming, Wong established several properties of the generalized Dirichelt distribution to resolve such problem for classifying document data. In this research project, we found out that a multinomial Naïve Bayesain classifiers will provide a better classification accuracy for both bacterial 16S and fungal 28S sequence reads. Furthermore, through utilizing appropriate priors for gene sequences, e.g Dirichlet and generalized Dirichlet priors, the classification accuracy will be further improved. The source codes of the program was implemented by C++ code.
Fungal ITS classifier
January 1, 2011 – Present
In this project, we compared the classification accuracy of two sections of the fungal Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) region, individually and combined, and the 5′ section (about 600 bp) of the large-subunit rRNA, using a naïve Bayesian Classifier and BLASTN. A hand-curated ITS-LSU training set of 1091 sequences and a larger training set of 8967 ITS region sequences were used.
Fungal LSU classifier
January 1, 2010 – Present
Taxonomic and phylogenetic fingerprinting based on sequence analysis of gene fragments from the large subunit rRNA gene (LSU) or the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region is becoming an integral part of fungal classification. The lack of an accurate and robust classification tool, trained by a validated sequence database for taxonomic placement of fungal LSU genes, is a severe limitation in taxonomic analysis of fungal isolates or large datasets obtained from environmental surveys. Using a hand-curated set of 8506 fungal LSU gene fragments, we determined the performance characteristics of a naïve Bayesian classifier across multiple taxonomic levels and compared the classifier performance to a sequence similarity-based (BLASTN) approach.
Human saliva microbiome project
January 1, 2009 – Present
In this project, we analyse adult saliva microbiomes with 19 caries-active and 26 healthy human hosts. The 16S rRNA gene PCR amplicons were analyzed via pyrosequencing on 454 Life Sciences Genome Sequencer FLX Titanium (GS-Titanium; 454 Life Sciences, Branford, CT, USA). My main task within this project is taxonomic analysis with RDP classifier and BLAST, and also comparison analysis between two population host.

Cultural Fit Analysis
The candidate has a strong academic background and significant experience in both research institutions (Los Alamos National Laboratory, Tokyo Institute of Technology) and industry (NVIDIA, Foxconn). The projects are highly specialized in bioinformatics and machine learning, which aligns with data-intensive roles. However, the target role is 'Data Analyst', which might be a step down from 'Senior Data Scientist' or 'Senior Manager, Solution Architect' roles, potentially indicating a mismatch in career trajectory or expectations. The diversity of roles, from auditor to business consultant, suggests adaptability, but the core technical focus has been consistent in data science/ML.
Soft Skills & Operational Fit
The candidate's extensive experience in research and senior roles suggests strong problem-solving, analytical thinking, and potentially leadership skills. The project descriptions indicate a methodical approach to complex data challenges. However, without specific psychometric test results or interview data, it's difficult to fully assess work attitude, stress handling, and team collaboration.
