Competitions and Talks
MUDAC 2018
1st place
The Midwestern Undergraduate Data Analytics Competition (MUDAC) was a 24 hour data analytics competition hosted at Winona State University on April 7-8 2018. We analyzed attrition of season ticket holders for the Minnesota Wild. We analyzed the data, made visualizations, and then presented to judges. Many of the slides cannot be posted to adhere to an NDA. My team included Bradley Erickson, Bradly Hennes, and Uzma Ghazanfar. The Kaggle in class competition can be found here; we are Mudac Team 5 (nicknamed Bergen’s Beauties) on the leaderboards.
Police Data Challenge
Best College Overall
The Police Data Challenge was hosted by the American Statistics Association. We analyzed police call data from the city of Seattle. Using visualizations, we made analyzed trends in different types of crimes. We used these insights we made implementable recommendations for the Seattle Police Department. I worked with Kapil Khanal.
MinneMUDAC 2017
Honorable Mention
In this competition we analyzed health care claims data. The goal was to predict future expenditures for patients with diabetes using past claims data and demographic information. My team included Will Diedrick, Akif Khan, Kapil Khanal, and Sean Wittenberg. You can find more information here.
SCUDEM II 2018
The SIMIODE Challenge Using Differential Equations Modeling (SCUDEM) offered 3 modeling problems. We chose to answer question 2, modeling a predator and prey relationship. You can find more information about the Competition here.I worked on this project with Gabe Mancino and Nick Meyer.
Pi Mu Epsilon 2018
Abstract: With the ever-increasing popularity of the Internet comes a deluge of publicly available data useful for providing insights on methods to better society. Data science involves the process of gathering, managing, analyzing, and communicating data. This presentation will explore each of these steps using mental health, medical, and police calls data. The ultimate goal of this process is to learn from the data and make implementable suggestions to improve society.
Mental Health Project
I visualized some data about mental health, stress, and anxiety. The data came from IPUMS, the CDC, and PubMed Central. I used Tableau for visualization.
