Data Scientist | AI Researcher
Hi there! I am Akshay Suresh. I am a freelance data scientist building artificial intelligence (AI) tools for positive climate impact. In the past, I engineered software pipelines to automate searches of terabytes of astronomy data for exotic events, including plausible signs of intelligent life beyond the Earth.
Major project highlights:
- A LiDAR-based evaluation of rooftop solar feasibility, revealing that 53% of homeowners in DeLand, Florida, can save over $1000 annually by transitioning to solar-powered households.
- Developing a scalable tool for near real-time forecast of earthquakes induced from underground carbon storage, thereby enabling proactive measures to minimize the seismic hazard.
- Designing a novel open-source software to detect repeating radar-like transmissions from potential technologically advanced worlds residing in the Milky Way.
