Apart from handling the website and social media sides of the lab; I focus mainly on compiling data to use from ExecEd’s Canvas site and social media outlets.

I am most passionate about seeing the product of what we do. Working with a tangible source of data and working on the algorithms which format that information into usable data makes me appreciate seeing a nice graph or curve from the messy reality in the end.

The biggest challenge in what I do is the constant learning required to get what information we want. There is no one-fits-all solution to the problems we face, and so I end up spending a small portion of my time accomplishing large amounts of things, and a large portion of my time learning about small details required to put all the parts together.

I have been working with Yoshie and the team for 2 years now, as a research assistant. I help with data cleaning, analysis, and occasionally with literature reviews using my knowledge of Excel, R, and other software.

I am most passionate about the idea of exploring the unknown – handling new parameters and navigating through the myriad of data points to discover something new is quite exciting.

Data cleaning for me is sometimes bottle-necked by lack of software functionalities, and results in manual inputting, which can be very time-consuming.

The ROL team congratulates Kevin on his Graduation and wishes him good luck for his next adventure.
