Projects
(1) Heart attack prediction based on medical features and clinical data
-Using Data analysis techniques, and python libraries, I created a model that can predict how likely a patient may get a heart attack based on multiple features. I was responsible for cleaning the data, writing the code, and establishing the model.
(2) Potential anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties of Parkinsonia Aculeata
-The testing is currently in the preliminary stages, with data collection and analysis ongoing. Findings from this research could contribute to the novel of phytochemical-based therapies and nutraceutical.
