Projects

World Cup 2026 Predictive Model

A prediction model for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. It builds Elo ratings from 49,000+ international matches dating back to 1872, trains win/draw/loss models on top of them, and runs 50,000 Monte Carlo simulations of the official tournament bracket to generate championship probabilities for all 48 teams. The model is validated with walk-forward testing on the last five World Cups (2006–2022), reaching a log-loss of 0.959, close to the betting-market benchmark of ~0.95. On a harder out-of-sample test (2,673 matches from 2023–2026 never seen during training), it hits 62% accuracy with well-calibrated probabilities.

Study Spot

SeawolfStudy is a web application built with Python, Streamlit, and Geopy that enables students at Stony Brook University to view, track, and update real-time study spot availability on an interactive campus map. The app leverages geofencing to trigger proximity-based prompts and improve decision-making for over 100 pilot users. A SQLite backend with hashed authentication secures user accounts while automated 30-minute rolling updates ensure reliable crowd-level reporting. By integrating interactive maps and notifications, the platform helps students optimize study space selection and reduces inaccurate status logs by 40%.

TimeLy β€” Course Insights Chatbot

A team hackathon project (built with Amir Hamza and Ritesh Chavan) that turns Stony Brook course feedback and grading data into actionable insights for students, educators, and administrators. An ETL pipeline built with Pandas processes raw course data, a HuggingFace sentiment pipeline scores feedback text, and Spacy handles NLP query parsing. A Flask web app wraps it all in a chatbot interface powered by OpenAI's GPT-3.5 Turbo, letting users ask natural-language questions about course difficulty, sentiment, and recommendations in real time.

Stock Analysis Basics

A simple Python project for analyzing and visualizing historical stock data. This project focuses on fetching, processing, and plotting financial data for selected stocks such as Nvidia and Netflix. Since I am interested in quantitative finance, I started with this basic project to learn how to analyze stocks. I created graphs showing the open price, closing price, volume, high price, and low price over a 5-year period for Nvidia and Netflix. I also calculated the daily range and other key metrics to help with valuation, risk analysis, and momentum analysis of the stocks.

Interests

Hi, I’m Bhishma Gaudani. I’m an international student double majoring in Computer Science and Applied Mathematics & Statistics at Stony Brook University in New York. I grew up in Gujarat, India, a place known for its entrepreneurial spirit. Finance and business have always been part of me. I have always loved mathematics, which led me to choose computer science, even though it’s uncommon in my business-oriented family. Right now, I’m exploring quantitative finance and working on projects that combine programming and data analysis. Besides academics, I enjoy playing soccer and have represented my state at the national level in India. Playing soccer helps me stay balanced and motivates me to do my best in everything.
