Benjamin Lash Email & Phone Number

 Collaborated with research group on the development of a black hole merger detection model. Optimized model training to maintain accuracy despite increased parallelization. Improved training time by fifty percent, allowing the model to train on twice as much data in the same time frame. Enabled the detection of mergers across a wider signal manifold..

• Took a leadership role in the development and implementation of the control system for throttle and brake mechanisms.
• Researched and located information vital to autonomous throttle and brake control algorithms.
• Guided fellow interns in the development of a throttle and brake control algorithm; worked with team membersto implement the algorithm in C++ using ROS, a robotics middleware suite.
• Effectively controlled acceleration and braking algorithm based on sensor data and movement commands.
• Refined control algorithms following the internship to further improve the throttle and brake control system.
