NSF Undergraduate Researcher
National Science Foundation, RCAC | West Lafayette, IN
I worked to optimize spatial intersection operations of NOAA’s GeoJSON dataset containing over 9 million records of block-level census data with spatial flood inundation maps for 400 dams using GeoParquet. The optimized codebase was executed using Apache Spark job queues on Purdue’s Anvil High-performance Computing cluster with Dask library to enable ease of processing.
