Rohan Shanbhag is an undergraduate student at Florida International University and a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Fellow currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science. His interests mainly lie in computer science applications and machine learning. Rohan plans to continue his education after completing his Bachelor’s by pursuing a Master’s degree in Computer Science.
Rohan’s research involves the development of machine learning applications and algorithms that can help find relationships between groundwater wells and aquifer tube wells across and near the Colombia River shoreline in Hanford, WA in order to aid in the goal of keeping hexavalent chromium below a certain threshold in the aquifer tube wells. Currently, the research focuses on spatiotemporal relationships or relationships between the wells that involve space and time through the analysis of time-series data.
