Henna Bhramdat, PhD

Hello! I'm Henna, a passionate Data Scientist with a background in machine learning, R development, and UX research. I specialize in transforming data into actionable insights and creating user-centered solutions.

• 10+ years mentoring students and research assistants in data science and professional development.
• 12+ years translating complex technical analyses into actionable insights for diverse audiences.
• Skilled in survey design, UX research, and data-driven advocacy for program and policy improvements.

Multimodal AI for Library and Museum Archives

Researched how modern multimodal AI models can help make archaeological collections more accessible through:

• Zero-shot classification of metadata
• Natural language search of visual collections
• Research embedding approaches
• Interactive visualization and exploration tools

UX Research for Optimizing Academic Workflow

Led the design and execution of a UX research project for an academic research unit, developing and distributing a Qualtrics survey to assess user experience with internal workflows. Analyzed survey responses to identify usability challenges and provided actionable recommendations to improve system efficiency and user satisfaction.

Custom R Package: Finite Element Analysis

This R package performs finite element modeling of beams and 2D geometries, applying material properties and boundary conditions to compute stress, strain, and nodal displacements, with options for mesh generation and heat map visualization.

3D Anatomy Models

Explore my interactive 3D anatomical models, designed for educational and research purposes. These models are detailed representations of human anatomy, developed to enhance the understanding of complex anatomical structures. Hosted on Sketchfab, they allow for dynamic exploration, with the ability to rotate, zoom, and inspect various layers and features of the models. These visual tools aim to support students, researchers, and professionals in the field of anatomy and medical education.
