"My internship project was an Integrated Planning Tool, which would aid flight planners in building flight schedules that are robust to delays and disruptions, thereby increasing performance. I was developing machine learning models to incorporate realistic delays into the tool's disruption-simulating mechanism. I have been using my knowledge of air transportation systems to identify potential contributors to delays and incorporate such factors to predict delay durations."
