Lindsay Zadunayski (REU Summer 2017)

I am a junior at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute planning to graduate in May 2019.  I am pursuing a dual major in Computer Science and Mathematics in the School of Science.  This summer I am participating in CRA-W’s Distributed Research Experience for Undergraduates (DREU). You can contact me at zadunl@rpi.edu

This summer I am working with Professor Jen Mankoff (CMU), Professor Kaite Siek (Indiana University), and Ujjwai Baskota(Jackson State University) to investigate online reviews for Ob/Gyns and Urologists.   We are hoping to discover how they reflect the patient experience, and how satisfaction and language use change based on a variety of factors.  To do so we are using Google reviews and federal datasets.
