Project: Small-Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS) Analysis of Biological Samples

• Conducted Small-Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS) experiments at Beamline BL19U2 to investigate the structural characteristics of biological macromolecules.
• Operated high-end synchronization radiation instrumentation for data collection and performed primary data reduction.
• Analyzed scattering patterns to determine parameters such as radius of gyration (Rg) and molecular weight, contributing to the understanding of protein folding or nanoparticle morphology.
• Collaborated with a multidisciplinary research team from City University of Hong Kong to optimize sample preparation and experimental protocols.

Project: Market Segmentation and Consumer Behavior Analysis using Machine Learning

• Applied K-Means Clustering algorithm in Python to segment a dataset of over 7000 consumers into distinct groups based on purchasing patterns and demographic variables.
• Utilized Octoparse to scrape market data from social media and e-commerce platforms, ensuring a robust dataset for trend analysis.
• Performed data preprocessing including normalization and PCA (Principal Component Analysis) to improve the accuracy of the clustering model.
• Derived actionable marketing strategies for New Energy Vehicles in the National Survey and Analysis Competition.
• Enhanced team productivity with regular progress reports and performance evaluations.
• Identified potential risks and devised mitigation strategies to ensure smooth project execution.
