Daniel Emaasit

I am currently a Ph.D student of Civil & Transportation Engineering at University of Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV). I am also a graduate research assistant in the Transportation Research Center (TRC). Broadly, my research interests involve the application of mathematical statistics, operations research, econometric methods, data mining and machine learning for the modeling and analysis of "Big" data to improve Urban Mobility.

I am the organiser of several R & Data Science Meetup groups in Las Vegas (USA) and Africa. These are non-profit professional groups that bring together people interested in data science and R-programming in the respective communities.

I also contribute to several open source technologies in the R community.
