This page contains information about myself. I just recently completed my Masters Degree in Computer Science. My area of focus is machine learning, predictive modeling (particularly time series analysis) and data mining. Currently I am living in Boston MA working as an energy analyst for KEMA Consulting. Here you can find a copy of my resume and some research I have done (all material is copyrighted by Colin Rickert as of May 2008):
1.Evolutionary Algorithm for Feature Selection
2.Neural Network Algorithm for Wind Speed Forecasting
3.Temporal Gibb's Sampler for Wind Speed Uncertainty Forecasting
4.Simulated Annealing Solution to the Knapsack Problem.
I have also included some rock climbing and bouldering related photographs, information and links. If you would like to say hi or leave any comments, feel free to get in touch with me
Best of luck,
Colin
