Data Projects
Finding answers to questions about people and places.
School Shootings and the Manosphere
96% of school shooting perpetrators are male. I looked for a spatial correlation between Google search interest in Manosphere-related topics and areas with higher rates of school shootings.
The answer: it's complicated. I found an anti-correlation.
New York Foundation
A commission to design a set of posters that communicate the demographics of New York Foundation grantees and the impact of their community organizing work in the city. I collaborated with designer and friend, Alice Viggiani, to create three posters to display in the NYF office.
Every Chinese Restaurant in North America
Chinese food is ubiquitous in the US. It's estimated that 90% of the American population has tried Chinese food, and more than half eat it on a regular basis. How is this possible when Chinese people are only 1.6% of the US population?
Masculinity Bot
I made a generative art bot to tell me what masculinity is by fine-tuning GPT-2 on 8,000 articles scraped from GQ magazine.
Are larger pools more likely to experience closures?
I looked for predictors of pool closures at public swimming pools
I Think You Should Leave
Can machine learning models understand cringe comedy? I sat down with a bunch of machine learning models and re-watched all 3 seasons of one of my favourite TV shows: I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson.
Let’s work together
I'm currently open to new projects and opportunities.
