Ramya Malur Srinivasan (Fujitsu Laboratories of America)
Miguel Perez (Ernst and Young LLP)

I'm a data scientist at a Financial Services Organization focused on developing algorithms and optimizations to crowdsource subject matter experts' evaluation of risk for anti-money laundering and employee conduct, and developing graph convolution neural networks and statistical learning models for studying behavior captured in banking customers' transaction records. The teams that I work with and oversee are applying these supervised and unsupervised models on graph databases of Global Forbes 500 banking transaction records. My academic background is in mathematical physics as an expert in Quantum Algorithmic Complexity, Category and Topos Theory, and quantum foundations. My research interests focus on (1) applying information theory to decision systems for algorithmic optimization, (2) applications of rating-ranking algorithms with geometric and non-trivial loss functions, (3) critical phenomenon on time varying graphs.
