Produced reports "Investigating Art with Image Processing and Machine Learning and Mathematics" and "Image Processing for Art Investigation," alongside funded summer research.
• Conference Presentations - Poster presentation at Computational Approaches for Technical Imaging in Cultural Heritage ,7th IP4AI meeting, 2022. - Poster presentation at International Conference on Computational Photography 2022.

PRUV Fellow

Duke University

• Top undergrduate research fellowship at Duke University, supported by NSF.
• Studied topics related to cohomology and combinatorics under the guidance of Professor Joseph Rabinoff.
• Generalized results from Professor Joseph Rabinoff for Dolbeault cohomology groups to a larger set of metric graphs, leading to a senior thesis and graduation with distinciton in mathematics.

Budapest Semesters in Mathematics

BSM

• Completed research course with Budapest Semesters in Mathematics, grade A+, in Fall 2020.
• Collaborate with Dr. Attila Sali (Alfréd Rényi Institute of Mathematics) on extremal problems related to finding maximal matrices that do not contain certain forbidden submatrices; began as BSM research course (grade A+).

Undergraduate Teaching Assistant

Duke University

• Undergraduate Teaching Assistant for COMPSCI 527 - Computer Vision, a graduate computer science course at Duke University taught by Professor Carolo Tomasi.
• Supported students through weekly office hours and grading.

Data Science Intern

Navigen Pharmaceuticals

• Implemented specialized clustering and cleaning algorithms to exploit unique attributes of the data, enabling new forms of analysis for millions of peptide sequences and helping laboratory scientists process data.
• Automated portions of the data-processing pipeline and played a major role in the reduction of analysis time from two weeks to a couple of hours by writing programs using tools such as shell scripting, Python, and Java.
