Available to hire
I’m Shugyla Tazhikul, a data science and machine learning-focused student from Kazakhstan who enjoys turning complex data into clear insights and practical solutions. My background combines strong mathematical foundations with hands-on work in statistical modeling, time series, regression analysis, and optimization, along with experience building reproducible AI pipelines.
I’ve also applied my skills in research and applied settings—using AI-based image analysis for SEM grain morphology in perovskite solar cell studies, optimizing data-driven workflows for experiments, and developing ML applications that I can deploy through user-facing tools. I’m especially interested in work at the intersection of data, AI, and real-world problems, where careful analysis and thoughtful engineering make an immediate impact.

Research Assistant (Electrical & Computer Engineering Department) at Nazarbayev University
January 1, 2025 - June 1, 2025Studied perovskite solar cells and implemented AI-based image analysis to improve research efficiency and accuracy. Applied Biodock software to detect and analyze grains on SEM images, improving grain boundary identification. Processed image data to measure grain size, area, and coverage ratio, and supported linking morphology features to device performance.
Research Assistant at Nazarbayev University - Electrical & Computer Engineering Department
January 1, 2025 - June 30, 2025Studied perovskite solar cells and applied AI-based image analysis to improve research efficiency and accuracy. Used Biodock on SEM images to detect and analyze grains and grain boundaries, and then computed grain morphology metrics such as grain size, area, and coverage ratio to support research conclusions.
Research Assistant (Electrical & Computer Engineering Department) at Nazarbayev University
June 1, 2024 - December 1, 2024Conducted experiments on organic photovoltaic devices and optimized fabrication processes. Fabricated solar cells using spin coating, thermal annealing, and vacuum deposition to improve device performance. Implemented MATLAB scripts to process and visualize current-voltage (I–V) data. Prepared graphical abstracts and visual materials to communicate experimental results clearly.
