Data Science Intern

The Dow Chemical Company

An AI-enabled product selector that puts product, training and technical knowledge in one place for customer-facing sales representatives and new team members, built and deployed end to end for internal use.

  • Users: customer-facing sales representatives who need product details in front of a customer, and new employees who use it for training and technical onboarding.
  • Model: a selector that works across multiple data modalities, including PowerPoint decks and video, so an answer can come from wherever the knowledge actually lives.
  • Data pipeline: read source data out of SharePoint and built an automated ingestion pipeline, so the data refreshes on its own and the selector stays current without manual updates.
  • Deployment: carried the project from raw source data to a deployed application, used internally by sales representatives and new hires.

Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence

A graph-RAG question-answering system over 20 years of software manuals, built for Applications Engineers.

  • Users: Applications Engineers, who need reliable answers from two decades of technical documentation.
  • Approach: used LangChain to convert document knowledge into a Neo4j graph database, with open-source and Azure models, so retrieval returns context-rich results.
  • Hard cases: supports temporal, vague and reasoning questions over extensive technical documentation.
  • Impact: gives engineers scalable search across the full manual archive.

Data Science Intern

The Dow Chemical Company

Graph neural network for product recommendation, plus research on generative models for new product formulations.

  • Recommendation: built a heterogeneous graph and used node classification, with attention to information flow in non-homogeneous graphs, to improve recommendation accuracy.
  • Generative research: explored variational autoencoders for novel product formulation on graph structures, and identified how large, dense graphs bias the latent space and hinder stable VAE training.
