Work Experience
02.2015-08.2016 R&D intern, Automotive department, HERE maps, Berlin
Traffic flow estimation from a non-complete dataset : Road network modeling and analysis,
problem formulation as a predictive task, data cleaning and preprocessing ,use HERE ser-
vices to leverage the accuracy of estimates. 25% improvement compared to state-of-the-art
approaches.
08.2015-02.2016 R&D intern, Automotive department, HERE maps, Berlin
Pre-departure time prediction from user smartphone data : Developed android application to
collect data from users, organized data collection campaign, explored the collected dataset,
developed and evaluated different classification and regression model for pre-departure time
estimation. Got 93% accuracy in classifying imminent and late departures.
08.2014-06.2015 Research intern, LCAV lab, EPFL
Streaming framework : Consists of an Android app and a Java app Server. The android app
receives and executes commands from the server such as streaming high quality audio. The
server handles multiple sessions and can run algorithm and real time computations on the
data streams.
