Anthony Merlin Portfolio

Glen Allen High School Awarded: (Advanced High School Deploma)

Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia-Tech) Currently: (Bachlors Degree of Computational Modeling And Data Analytics(CMDA) | Minor's in Mathematics and Computer Science).

The Complex Systems Lab at Virginia Tech and the Virginia Affect & Interoception Lab at the University of Virginia: Researcher I participated in a collaborative research project funded by the NSF, focusing on the role of behavioral and physiological synchrony in crowd stress contagion dynamics. My responsibilities included data collection and processing, where I worked closely with the research team to collect and process experimental group data using motion capture and cardiovascular physiological modalities. I was also responsible for data cleaning, using software such as Mindware and Qualtrics. Additionally, I was responsible for model implementation, where I selected, built, and implemented a chosen model in R using statistical and mathematical techniques such as ARIMA detrending, cross-correlation analysis, and spline interpolation, complete with commented code to analyze the collected data. Lastly, I conducted extensive literature reviews on existing models of behavioral and physiological synchrony.

Virginia Tech Academy of Data Science: Computational Modeling and Data Analytics (CMDA) Ambassador Responsible for promoting the CMDA program to prospective students, as well as assisted faculty and staff at student fairs and recruiting events.

American Red Cross: Data Analyst for International Services Responsible for collecting and organizing blood products data from various sources, including field reports and surveys, and using statistical methods to analyze the data to and prevent complications, identify patterns by using SQL. In goal, I helped to identify the most effective ways to allocate resources and respond to emergencies, with the ultimate goal of saving lives.

Goals

My current goals as of right now is me tring to understand AWS more in depth, im currently in pursuit of the AWS Cloud Practitioner Certification. I also am in the pursuit of knowlege towards, applications in realtionation databases and how to improve them.

For starters I'm 20 years old and I'm originally from Richmond VA, and two things I love are hanging out with family, and Math. As for my education, I got my Advanced Diploma at Glen Allen High School, and through my time in High school, I got my passion for Math. At the end of the day, I love math its always been interesting to me and I guess from there coding felt intuitive to my skills. I'm currently in University where I study at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech) with my Major being Computational Modeling and Data Analytics (CMDA) where I work with heavy math analysis as well as intensive programming.
