Project: Contrast dynamics modelling in contrast-enhanced CT imaging1. Built a machine learning model to predict contrast Iodine enhancement dynamics for CT scan patient using 10,000+ retrospective cases from Duke University Medical Center to be applied clinically in the Summer of 2021.2. Managed a collaboration involving several radiologists, computer scientists, physicists, and industry partners from Italy and the US3. Presented research updates at major international radiological conferences, including the International Society of Optics and Photonics – SPIE (2 times), Radiological Society of North America (1 time), and at internal/Duke research symposia (2 times)4. Teaching: Responsible Conduct of Research and Ethics Retreat as TA (Fall 2018) and as Lead TA (Fall 2019), MP 763 Advanced Radiation Biology (Fall 2020)5. Participated in Duke's Summer Doctoral Academy: Science Policy, Health Care Policy, and Research Computing

Washington, Dc, Us

1. Produced an internal report on Transportation Digital Twins, self-autonomous vehicle system regulation, and the use of synthetic data in artificial intelligence for the Intelligent Transportation System Joint Program Office (ITS JPO) at the DOT(Partnership for Public Service Summer Research Intern)

Washington, Dc, Us

1. Supervised a team of 12 junior/undergraduate interns of diverse background to work on several AI-related projects to support the State Department policy objectives2. Collaborated with economic officers at multiple US embassies and with other State Department interns to build a prioritization model and a data visualization platform.

1. Developed annual internal and external advocacy plans, in conjunction with the President and guided by the Secretariat, and managed a budget of more than $90,000.2. Led a group of students to Washington DC to engage elected officials on issues affecting graduate students, such as research funding, mental health, financial aid, and immigration.3. Engaged the Durham community through community organizing and joint advocacy efforts, such as organizing a mayoral candidate forum during the 2021 mayoral election season with NC Central University4. Supervised the Director of Durham and Community Relations, Director of Academic Affairs, Director of External Advocacy, and Director of Diversity and Inclusion.

Project: Pion Production Simulation 1. Completed 10,000+ simulations of different reactions (Sn-132+Sn-124, Sn-108+Sn-112, Ca- 48+Ca-48, and others) to study pion production in nuclear collisions2. Analyzed result of simulations in ROOT/C++ environment to inform the effect of the Nuclear Symmetry Energy in nuclear high-density regions, such as the neutron starsProject: SAMURAI Pion-Reconstruction and Ion Tracker (SPiRIT) Time Projection Chamber (TPC)1. Involved in some construction and testing activities, including designing the window of the TPC and gas-leak testing to ensure the quality of the enclosure 2. Created CAD drawings and 3D models of TPC and experimental set-up

[1] Undergraduate research assistant for Dr. Juhao Wu, accelerator physicist for Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) Free Electron Laser[2] Discretized the tapering of the undulator magnets using both Markov Chain Monte Carlo (Simulated Annealing), as well as genetic algorithm in MATLAB environment to improve the X-ray power of SLAC’s LCLS Free Electron Laser[3] Used Genesis 1.3 to simulate LCLS, the result includes an improvement of more than 40% increase of peak power and general trends to be studied further.[4] Parts of the project was included in Nucl. Instr. Meth. Phys. Res. A 846, 56-63 (2017)[5] Presented research result at SLAC/Stanford Summer Research Symposium, August 2016

[1] Undergraduate research assistant in Prof. Dr. Giles Novak's astronomy laboratory at the Center for Interdisciplinary Exploration and Research in Astrophysics (CIERA) at Northwestern University[2] Repurposed a cryostat, which had previously been used as a cryogenic instrument deployed at the South Pole, to be reused for cold-testing of BLAST-TNG (Ballon-borne Large-Aperture Submillimeter Telescope) telescope’s Half Wave Plate rotator, using SolidWorks to design the modification needed.[3] Developed a remote temperature monitoring system using a Silicon Diode thermometer, an Ethernet system, and C++ programming[4] Volunteered to improve/revamp the Northwestern University Machine Shop’s website to make it more informative and user-friendly[5] Presented research result to the public at Chicago's Adler Planetarium in August 2015 and at the American Astronomical Society Annual Meeting in Kissimmee FL, January 2016
