Hello, my name is Edward Raff. I'm a Chief Scientist at Booz Allen Hamilton, where I lead our Machine Learning research group. I'm also a Visiting Professor at UMBC were I work closely with the DREAM and IRAL labs, and teach courses in the Data Science department. I received my PhD in Computer Science from University of Maryland, Baltimore County (2018) and was supervised by Professor Charles Nicholas. I graduated from Purdue University with a Bachelors (2012) and Masters (2013) degree in Computer Science. Please see my linkedin for more of my work history. 

I'm generally interested in all areas of Computer Science. I have a particular passion for Machine Learning, and I am the author of the JSAT library in my (limited) spare time. I like applying Machine Learning to interest problems, including Malware, Fairness, and Biometrics. I also have interests and experience in High Performance Computing and algorithms development. Mostly any interesting and challenging problem will grab my attention.  

On this site I host my research papers and some of the my older projects that, and hope that you will find something of interest. I don't tend to keep this website up-to-date, but I will keep the publications current. The title "RaffWorks" comes from use over several years of software services / code writing that I've helped people with.
