I studied computer science and math at MIT.
If you want to hire me, shoot me an email at bonny.jain@gmail.com to see if there's a snug fit. If you're a programmer, find me a way to return the k largest elements in a max-heap of size N in O(k) time.
Bonny Jain. "Modelling Signal Interactions with Application to Financial Time Series." PDF
In this thesis, we concern ourselves with the problem of reasoning over a set of objects evolving over time that are coupled through interaction structures that are themselves changing over time. We focus on inferring time-varying interaction structures among a set of objects from sequences of noisy time series observations with the caveat that the number of interaction structures is not known a priori.
Bonny Jain, John Wang, Iris Xu. "Security on Networks." PDF
When infections spread across a network, agents can choose to protect themselves from infection. However, these security mechanisms can be modelled as being imperfect and costing some investment. This paper investigates network models for infection in networks, and the decisions that agents make of whether or not to protect themselves.
Long runs at night, since the night is when the world is calm and when you can listen to the nothingness. The nothingness always tells you something, but only when you listen.
Version control, because the world is made up of a series of mistakes. Don't lose your memories, because when you're older, that's all you'll have left. Our culture puts so much effort into constantly pushing forward, but sometimes its better to backtrack and think in the past. Going backwards and making a big leap is better than constant but frustratingly marginal improvements.
Literature, because then you realize that nothing is new under the sun. Humans have been the same for thousands of years, the only changes have been their implements.
Music, because mood is one of the great drivers of action, yet also a provoker of thought. It is soothing yet powerful, and brings with it a case full of contradictions.
Water, because sometimes I forget where I come from and what I've been given. Water brings me back to the most basic and natural need. It puts things in perspective, and reminds me that everything is fine.
