- Learning neural-network-based dynamical system models which obey physical priors such as energy conservation and stability, applied to rapid large-scale integrated circuit simulation- Proposed a representation-learning-based mutual information estimator for Markov blanket feature selection, which was used to learn an RNN that could predict 94% of.

Folsom, California, United States

- Created data pipeline for collecting diagnostic data from datacenter solid state drives for failure prediction- Compiled dataset from ~300,000 drives and eliminated irrelevant features using mutual information estimation

Tucson, Arizona Area

- Built antenna array with real-time direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation based on an in-house RF front end- Wrote network driver to process real-time signals and implemented the MUSIC DOA algorithm (C++, Python)
