Background

About Sanjana Thaper

I am a recently graduated statistics and psychology double major at Rutgers University in New Brunswick aspiring to earn a doctoral degree, with a special interest in statistical computing and survey research and methodology. I am passionate about addressing social science issues through the application of statistics. Within the field of Quantitative Social Science, I spearheaded a research project investigating the connection of music and memory for residents with dementia and Alzheimer's Disease at a local long-term care facility. I collected and analyzed quantitative and qualitative data from one-on-one music therapy sessions and compiled my findings into a resource for staff to reference while caring for the residents who participated in the program. I also worked at Cloud Computing Today LLC where I supported the technology staff to analyze the findings of qualitative studies on the use of platforms that consume or deploy developed applications, such as Cloud Computing and DevOps. I extrapolated between 100-200 bar graphs from collected surveys to analyze consumer feedback and consolidated survey findings into 2-3 significant observations, in order to prepare a final report for corporate associates.
