Predictive Anomaly Detection in NGAFID
AI/ML Research Scientist · Rochester Institute of Technology · 2025–26Architected a two-stage deep learning research pipeline combining One-Class SVM and neuroevolutionary RNNs for anomaly detection on large-scale, real-world time-series sensor data from the NGAFID general-aviation database. Trained 10,000+ neural network architectures in parallel via neuroevolutionary search (EXAMM) on NVIDIA GPU, applying rigorous quantitative analysis, statistical validation, and explainable-AI methods to identify complex temporal patterns in high-dimensional sensor data.
