This data-driven approach led to better characterization of the underlying power spectrum by identifying bands that outperformed the more commonly used band boundaries by a factor of two. The proposed method provides a fully automated and flexible approach to capturing key signal components and possibly discovering new indices of brain activity. -![EEG Band Discovery](/assets/eeg_band_discovery.jpeg) - -### Decoding Physical and Cognitive Impacts of Particulate Matter Concentrations at Ultra-Fine Scales -[Publication](https://www.mdpi.com/1424-8220/22/11/4240) - -Used **Matlab** to train over 100 machine learning models which estimated particulate matter concentrations based on a suite of over 300 biometric variables. We found biometric variables can be used to accurately estimate particulate matter concentrations at ultra-fine spatial scales with high fidelity (r2 = 0.91) and that smaller particles are better estimated than larger ones. Inferring environmental conditions solely from biometric measurements allows us to disentangle key interactions between the environment and the body. - -![Bike Study](/assets/bike_study.jpeg) ## Talks & Lectures - Causality: The new science of an old question - GSP Seminar, Fall 2021 -- Guest Lecture: Dimensionality Reduction - Big Data and Machine Learning for Scientific Discovery (PHYS 5336), Spring 2021 -- Guest Lecture: Fourier and Wavelet Transforms - Scientific Computing (PHYS 5315), Fall 2020 -- A Brief Introduction to Optimization - GSP Seminar, Fall 2019 -- Weeks of Welcome Poster Competition - UTD, Fall 2019 -- A Brief Introduction to Networks - GSP Seminar, Spring 2019 - [Data Science YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCa9gErQ9AE5jT2DZLjXBIdA) ## Publications - - [Data Science Blog](https://medium.com/@shawhin)
