Erin De Pree

I am a data scientist and experienced problem solver looking to improve the world by providing accurate data analysis and insights to aid in constructing easily implemented solutions. I use my experience as a physics college professor to mentor others, understand and negotiate with stakeholders with different backgrounds and priorities, and experience researching best practices to empower employee contributions to sustainable solutions.

Projects

Capstone: Unsupervised Clustering of Countries | GitHub

tools used: python, pandas, scikit-learn, plotly, matplotlib, markdown, jupyter

coming soon, project is underway!

Classifying Kidney Images by Condition | GitHub

tools used: python, pandas, numpy, keras, tensorflow, scikit-learn, matplotlib, markdown, jupyter

Built a convolutional neural network from scratch to classify kidney CT scans as healthy, cyst, stone, or tumor.

Unreported Deaths from Extreme Temperatures | GitHub

tools used: python, pandas, numpy, scikit-learn, matplotlib, markdown, latex, jupyter

Used weather satellite data to identify extreme weather temperature events. Built a model from the known extreme temperature deaths report to the International Emergency Database in Belgium.

Ames Housing Sales Prices | GitHub

tools used: python, pandas, numpy, scikit-learn, matplotlib, latex, markdown, jupyter

Used the Ames, Iowa housing data to extract features to predict house’s sale price.

Astrometry of Double Stars | Article

tools used: sql, mathematica, latex, google sheets

Measured positions of double stars (appear close together in the sky) and compared with historic data to determine if the system is gravitational bound together or happens to appear close together.

Physics Majors and Minors Database

tools used: google fusion tables, google sheets

Compiled complete list of physics majors and minors, both currently enrolled and alumni, track alumni’s current work place. Used pivot tables to track alumni characteristics, plotted graduates per year with a 5 year running average.

Interests

I enjoy playing board games, learning new things, quilting, painting, and making pottery.

I also enjoy spending time with my cat, Mel. She generally disapproves of most things. But at least she appears to enjoy herself while looking down on others!
