Data Analytics Internship At Fastenal, Jacob J. Haines
Data Analytics Internship At Fastenal, Jacob J. Haines
Research & Creative Achievement Day
The poster will present the results from an analysis of Fastenal's customer base to find characteristics among them that serve as useful predictors of their spending habits. This will allow Fastenal to create more accurate control groups when assessing the effectiveness of various marketing initiatives. This poster acts as the communication of capstone experience outcomes which is required for Data Science majors in addition to the capstone experience.
Using Data Visualizations To Analyze Employee Performance At Xcel Energy, Abby Venz
Using Data Visualizations To Analyze Employee Performance At Xcel Energy, Abby Venz
Research & Creative Achievement Day
Companies often are curious about their employee performance. But how, exactly, do they analyze this? As a Data Analytics Intern for Xcel Energy, I was in charge of doing just this. This poster will walk you through the methods used to analyze and model employee performance, as well as the results found and the different ways managers at Xcel Energy used them
My Experience As An It Data Intern, Annajo V. Vonseth
My Experience As An It Data Intern, Annajo V. Vonseth
Research & Creative Achievement Day
This poster presentation is focused on my internship as an IT Data Intern with B’nai B’rith Youth Organization (BBYO). I was able to use the skills already learned through courses here at WSU to help project and produce high-end reports. Additionally, I was in-charge of the creation of the survey all the way to creating the PowerPoint presentation with the results. I will also discuss how Microsoft Suites played a huge role in my day-to-day work, from large, complex data sets to cleaning and refining old data, I will be discussing the skills I learned during my time as an …

An Analysis Of Major League Baseball Sabermetrics, Zack O. Fuller
An Analysis Of Major League Baseball Sabermetrics, Zack O. Fuller
Research & Creative Achievement Day
With baseball becoming an increasingly competitive sport, professional baseball teams are looking to the statistical side of the sport to find ways to win more games. With my analysis, I studied baseball statistics to look for interesting patterns and relationships. For example, I investigated the effect of a trade on a player's performance (both batters and pitchers) and analyzed the relationship between a player's performance and salary. My analysis also determined the statistics teams should utilize to win more games. To effectively analyze these patterns and relationships, visualizations were made in Tableau, and linear models were fit with R. Overall, …
Geometrization Of Hawking Radiation Via Ricci Flow, Alexander Cassem
Geometrization Of Hawking Radiation Via Ricci Flow, Alexander Cassem
Ramaley Celebration
In 1982, Richard S. Hamilton formulated Ricci flow along manifolds of three dimensions of positive Ricci curvature as an attempt to resolve Poincaré’s Conjecture. However, it took until 2006 by Grigori Perelman to resolve the conjecture with Ricci flow. Since then, research in pure mathematics on Ricci Flow increased exponentially, and people began to apply it towards physics. For example, Ricci flow has been found to be the Renormalization Group flow of the bosonic string and sigma model. However, Ricci flow’s analogous counterpart being the heat equation, makes it appear to have more applications. For this reason, we have studied …
