About Me

Hi, I'm Clarisa

Clarisa's Headshot

I am an admitted student at Columbia University. In Spring 2025, I will begin my Master of Science in Applied Analytics. I recently graduated from Texas A & M International University (TAMIU), where I earned my Bachelor of Science in Mathematics.

I am currently developing skills in software engineering, data analytics, and data engineering. While studying at TAMIU, I served as research assistant under the University Honors Program, where I contributed to two publications on on algorithms for solving reaction-diffusion equations in ecology.

I am particularly interested in the applicatoins data, innovation, and research in the domain of healthcare. Outside of school, I enjoy reading,writing, trying new recipes, and dancing.

Relevant Experience

Research Assistant

2021- 2022

TAMIU Department of Mathematics & Physics

  • Conducted undergraduate research supported by the National Science Foundation using numerical methods, mathematical modeling and machine learning.
  • Programmed code in FreeFEM++ for numerical experiments to simulate the solutions of various scenarios of a two competitive-species model with harvesting, which enhanced my ability to apply physical theory to quantitative data.
  • Integrated machine learning to present visualizations of data from non-linearly coupled partial differential equations.
  • Implemented predictive and inferential analysis to develop a prediction of a convergence rate of two populations, then extracted synthetic data to verify our prediction.

Field Researcher

June 2019 - January 2020

TAMIU Department of Mathematics & Physics

Conducted community-focused research by leading PARA protocol surveys on 35+ local greenspaces, and generated excel reports integrating trend analysis.
