Work Experience

Machine Learning Researcher – Time Series & Forecasting System at SkillMix
September 1, 2025 - Present
Analyzed multivariate time-series features in perturbations for short- and medium-horizon forecasting, focusing on structural dependencies over black-box accuracy. Studied system dynamics, external shocks, regime changes, and cross-system interactions. Designed and implemented a model interpretability and diagnostics framework using SHAP, LIME, and feature attribution methods. Performed feature ablation and baseline experiments to quantify contributions across regimes. Evaluated forecasting under heterogeneous conditions and communicated findings through technical reports and stakeholder presentations.
Research Intern at University Medical Center Utrecht (UMC)
April 1, 2025 - August 1, 2025
Processed ECG/SCG signals using wavelets and filtering to support clinical imaging analyses. Developed real-time motion tracking algorithms for integration into MRI workflows. Collaborated with clinicians and physicists to refine methods for clinical applicability. Translated electrophysiological signals into quantitative metrics applicable to in-vivo neural research.
AI Research Engineer at Medical Imaging Clinic
January 1, 2023 - January 1, 2025
