Hi! I'm Derek. I have a B.S. and P.E. in Electrical Engineering. I specialize in mathematics, artificial intelligence, and machine learning ("AI/ML"). In my 23 years as a tutor, I have taught students of all ages and skill levels.

I have been the research advisor on 30+ publications in AI/ML [where my name often appears in the Acknowledgements section]. This includes 2 papers in IEEE BigData, the Google Scholar No. 6 ranked publication in Data Mining & Analysis. I also placed 5th at the 2024 IEEE BigData Cup Challenge. My areas of expertise includes scientific machine learning, computer vision, reinforcement learning, tabular data analysis, and more. I am also listed as the Project Advisor on one publication with the Society of Industrial and Applied Mathematics.

I can help with (a) passion projects, (b) competitions, (c) research, (d) and science fairs. My primary focus are high school and undergraduate students.

With my guidance, my students have achieved excellent results: (1) 2024 IEEE BigData AI Youth Star Award Winner, (2) 2023 + 2024 NJAS 1st place winner, (3) 2022 Regeneron STS Scholar, (4) 2021 ISEF 4th place finisher, (5) 2023 Yale University 5-year Graduate Fellowship, (6) six publications with IEEE MIT Undergraduate Research Technology Conference. Copies of documentation are available upon request.
