• Coordinated and hosted program outreach alongside social and academic events regarding the Data Science major to prospective and current UC San Diego undergraduates.• Supported the design and implementation of mid and post quarter surveys alongside Town Hall discussions for student feedback and course evaluation.• Communicated course feedback and recommendations to Student Affairs staff and faculty representatives.

Courses Instructed:• DSC 10 - Principles of Data Science (https://dsc-courses.github.io/dsc10-2022-fa/)• DSC 40A - Theoretical Foundations of Data Science I (https://dsc-courses.github.io/dsc40a-2021-fa/)• DSC 40B - Theoretical Foundations of Data Science II (https://dsc-courses.github.io/dsc40b-2022-fa/)• Clarified and answered student questions during class lectures and on online classroom forums(Piazza, Campuswire, EdStem).• Facilitated weekly office hours (in-person and remotely via Zoom) to aid student understanding in the course curriculum and assignments.• Manually graded student work and automated grading systems to instantly evaluate student-submitted code on Gradescope.• Created homework assignments as well as midterm and final projects in Python (Pandas, Numpy, Matplotlib) on Jupyter Notebooks made accessible via UC San Diego’s computing platform Datahub.• Identified underperforming students to provide targeted and individualized 1-on-1 personal mentorship.

• Researched and formulated a theoretical framework for a blockchain system and decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) within a metaverse setting.• Presented governance models to oversee and regulate user behavior and asset transactions within the DAO.• Initiated the development of a DAO infrastructure, enabling user membership and the generation of individual assets as NFTs on the Solana blockchain via JavaScript APIs.

• Leveraged Unreal Engine 4 for data visualization, 3D design, multiplayer collaboration, and user-interface design, including digital twins/mirror worlds.• Contributed to the creation of persistent games that integrate real-time data with metaverse tools in Unreal Engine 4, achieving a 1-to-1 virtual mapping with the physical world.• Designed assets and programmed asset functions in Unreal Engine 4 using Blueprints, ensuring version control through GitLab, and researched networking requirements for cross-platform, synchronous user interactions.

• 10-week program hosted by a collaboration between the Sony Human Factors Team and the UC San Diego Design Lab, participated as a UX/UI designer and researcher.• Designed a virtually accessible app intended to improve social conventions in the wake of COVID-19, specifically for employees onboarding onto remote workspaces.• Conducted field research through user interviews to create personas of prospective stakeholders.• AB tested low fidelity prototypes created on Figma to iterative improve upon user-centered ergonomic design.
