Projects

A Parallel Batch-Dynamic Maximum Flow Algorithm (2025): a theoretical batch-dynamic parallel algorithm for the maximum flow problem in dynamic networks. Final project for CPSC 424 (Parallel Programming).

C4D Clone (2024): an implmenetation of the C4D (Cascaded 4D) algorithm for 4D convolutional neural networks. Final project for CPSC 426 (Distributed Systems).

Dialect Classifier (2024): a study on dialect classification in natural language processing, evaluating the performance of fine-tuned BERT-based models (DistilBERT, TinyBERT) against a Naive Bayes baseline. Trained models on the Global Web-Based English (GloWbE) corpus across 20 English dialects, analyzing the impact of data diversity on classification accuracy. Final project for LING 380 (Neural Network Models of Computional Linguistics).

Floppy Fish (2023): a simple remake of the classic game Flappy Bird, created on Unity with hand-drawn animations.

Color Extraction (2023): a program to separate colors based on a given 9-color palette, intended to simulate the French chromolithography process. Final project for HSAR 019 (first year seminar: Matters of Color).

Problem of the Week (2021-23): a series of STEM-related problem of the week server for high school students, with student submitted problems and automated leaderboards & answer submissions.

Research

Yale University, Gerstein Lab, Undergraduate Research Assistant (2024-present): Research in molecular dynamics; creating a pipeline for computational drug discovery through interactive simulations between transitional protein conformations and experimental ligands. Preprint

Yale University, Fan Lab, Summer Intern (2022): Conducted independent research on analysis of single-cell CAR T cell data using R, literature, and statistical analysis; performed comparative analysis on CAR T cell data from healthy donor and patients with varying responses to therapy. Poster

UC Santa Cruz, VERITAS Collaboration, Research Assistant (2020-21): Working with two other interns, wrote scripts using the Fermipy library to analyze gamma-ray emission of blazars in contribution to creating the EBL skymap. Publications and conferences:

UC Santa Cruz, DEEP-Theory Group, Summer Intern (2021): With two other interns, coded a yt-compatible model of the circumgalactic medium, using mock stream simulations and relevant libraries including Trident and the yt project.
