Video and Image Processing Lab- Developing an end-to-end system for autonomous drone navigation in an outdoor cluttered environment- Designing and training a custom neural network with an imitation learning approach in conjunction with trajectory optimization to achieve drone obstacle avoidance with minimal perception information and hardware

Hybrid Robotics Lab- Developed a system that permits the collaboration of multiple quadrupedal robots to autonomously pull a payload from arbitrary start and end points while avoiding obstacles. - Implemented the obstacle perception and state estimation scheme through a custom algorithm based on Lidar point clustering and SLAM algorithms- Integrated and experimentally validated the collaborative system on real-life hardware platforms (MIT Mini Cheetah and Unitree A1 robot)- The resulting paper was accepted to IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters Journal (2022) as co-first author- Facilitating experiments for the follow-up to the collaborative scheme with a Reinforcement Learning and decentralized approach

- Analyzed data and processes that underlie insurance call patterns- Cleaned, organized, and merged call data, user data, and insurance data from multiple sources for in-depth analysis- Explored and visualized the merged data to unveil underlying patterns that dictate the reasons behind calls- Modeled and automated processes that determine price cutoffs for different insurance tiers.- Fitted and feature-engineered models to improve the existing price cutoff scheme with various statistical techniques such as LASSO and ridge regressions.

- Used natural language processing to analyze patterns in textual data from emails- Designed a custom software to easily label textual data existing in emailsImplemented a pipeline utilizing BERT and neural networks to reveal, summarize, and extract relevant information in emails to unveil underlying patterns behind email correspondences
