Hello there, and welcome to my homepage!
My name is Moeen, and I am a PhD candidate at University of Virginia (UVA). I led multiple interdisciplinary Machine learning and Data Science projects during my study at UVA.
I worked with collaborators from different departments including political science, sociology , and civil engineering. A capstone project that I led to monitor UVA vehicles and train the drivers was awarded a Jefferson Trust grant and led to UVA being ranked one of the "Best Green Fleets in North America" by the National Association of Fleet Administrators.
My Thesis at UVA uses NLP tools to understand the emotional state of customers while communicating with Chatbots.
