• Implemented Full-stack TA Chat Application prototype for CMS teaching department. Designed pipelines using Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) and Large Language Models (LLM) to allow contextual understanding of.
• Utilized Google Gemini / OpenAI APIs and LangChain Chroma Vector Store with custom embeddings for domain-specific content retrieval.
• Reduced query token cost by 98% by optimizing a more cost-efficient LLM through fine-tuning and prompt engineering.

• Developed multi-layer perceptrons (MLPs) to classify solar particle decay phases in time-series flux data from NASA’s ACE. Accepted to AGU 2024 Conference.
• Incorporated LSTM-based Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) for predictive pattern recognition, further leveraged time-series imaging techniques for Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) training.
• Implemented generalization pipelines capable of analyzing full ACE flight (30+ years of hourly data) + other missions.

• Apply hydro-patternization analysis to simulate/investigate common failure modes of rocket engine injector articles, including propellant maldistribution, pressure drop instability, flow-induced instability, etc.
• Programmed a distributed hardware system in C++ for various components, including transducers, thermocouples, pumps, and actuators.
• Developed detailed Piping and Instrumentation Diagrams (PNID) for documentation and design of rocket engine test stand.

• Refactored/revamped 5000+ lines of JSON to improve simulation structures for in-game vehicles, improving accuracy.
• Improved overall system performance by addressing bottlenecks, achieving a 200% increase in frame rates on low-end systems.
• Implemented impact detection feature and kinematic integrators in Lua using simulated G-sensors within physics game engine.
