Math animations with Manim for MOOCs
AI chatbot for statistics questions
Student web platform (Quarto, R)
Team of 10 in pharmaceutical research

The Context

The Data Analytics Lab specializes in biostatistics, data science, statistical modeling, and machine learning applied to pharmaceutical research. Within this team of 10 people, I contribute to educational technology initiatives that make statistics more accessible to pharmacy students through visual explanations and AI-powered assistance.

Projects

Manim Animations

Creating educational animations using Manim (Mathematical Animation Engine) to visualize basic math concepts for MOOCs. These animations help students understand abstract mathematical ideas through clear visual representations.

Python Manim

AI Statistics Chatbot

Developing an AI-powered chatbot that helps students with statistics questions based on course slides and materials. The chatbot uses OpenAI's API to provide contextual assistance, helping students understand statistical concepts outside of class hours.
