-Building and designing the UC Davis Low Freq. Gravity Wave Detector-Using OnShape CADing to alter and iterate over the current design of the experiment-Coded from scratch a mode matcher application that is being used in the design of the experiment for the correct placement of lenses and optical devices-Published this application for public usage

-Used AWS Lambda functions to create data processing pipelines to prepare for training LLMs-Worked with different LLMs and used prompt engineering techniques to finetune models-Analyzed and cleansed large amounts of training data using Python scripts

-Learned how to deploy and finetune Meta's Lit-Llama LLM-Experimented with data engineering on Lit-Llama-Was asked to continue part-time into school year

- Worked on FARSIDE, one of 10 projects proposed annually to NASA, designed to set up a radio telescope on the far side of the moon- Helped identify targets to prioritize based on brightness using databases like SIMBAD and the NASA exoplanet archive.- Calculated lunar latitude that maximized the elevation of the highest priority targets to arrive at final placement
