Hello! my name is Kedree Proffitt, I am was a dual major at the University of Michigan Flint pursuing Physics and Data Analytics (they did not offer enough classes in time for me to graduate on time, I will instead graduate early with a few minors). I enjoy using techonology to make the surreptitious kernels of knowledge that hide in plain sight more obvious. By using data analytics and a deep knowledge of our topic we can solve any problem that crosses our skiddish gaze!

Here are some highlights of some interesting projects I have undertaken:

Data Analytics

• Near Earth Objects (CSC 302 Final and Pet Project for Weeks)

  • Obtained asteroid and metorite data from NASA's database API
  • Cleaned the data to only include relevant near earth data
  • Combined this with other NASA close approach data to create a stronger data set with more information on each asteroid
  • Created many figures with some help from classmates but I am most proud of this image which was made by myself only, more info is available in my DataAnalysisUMF repo

• Used Car Data (CSC 302 Midterm)

  • Obtained data on used cars in the US via Kaggle
  • Cleaned the data and tried to extract some useful insights
  • With a limited dataset it was quite hard to find useful information, but out came a garish figure that I was proud of at the time, improvement is good!

• Many more Data Analytics Projects to come!

Physics

• Hamiltonian Time Evolution Graph (Research assistant work for UM-Flint quantum computation UROP)

  • Our research team started with a hamiltonian for a quantum system and using Qiskit and Python data analytics tools like Seaborn we created a graph for each state's probabilities over time

• Electricity and Magnetism Dual Opposite Ring Charge Electric Field Calculator along Z Axis with GUI

  • This was my Electricity and Magnetism first Lab, we were offered a new choice our teacher was testing out, do the old PHET simulation labs or do something interesting, a computational project...
  • He tested the waters of our abilities by asking us to do the above calculation theoretically and then do it numerically, as its my first EVER GUI its quite basic, but the future labs will look and behave better!
  • This was written in Python and with the help of Qt Designer I made the GUI, much of the calculations were done in Python and the equations were derived on whiteboards and Mathematica.

• Many more GUI projects on the way...
