Asunción, Agencia IP.- José Moreira, a mechatronics engineer and graduate of the Faculty of Engineering at the National University of Asunción (FIUNA), received significant recognition in the prestigious NASA Airport Throughput Prediction Challenge, held in the United States.
This competition aimed to optimize airport air traffic through artificial intelligence. Moreira distinguished himself among hundreds of participants by achieving 5th place at the national level in the United States.
During the competition, the Paraguayan participant applied advanced machine learning models to improve flight arrival predictions and runway availability, contributing to better airline and air operator planning. He processed over 100GB of historical data and generated variables for time series. He worked with cutting-edge algorithms such as XGBoost and neural networks, achieving outstanding results in air traffic analysis.
Currently, José Moreira is pursuing a Master’s degree in Data Science at Michigan State University in the United States, thanks to a Fulbright-BECAL scholarship, further refining his skills in data processing and predictive modeling.
