• Built an end-to-end computer vision pipeline to collect, preprocess, and registerthousands of images of physical parts to their 3D models, and quantified their errordistributions for a part-authentication method.
• Reduced the number of needed physical experiments by∼80% throughemploying Bayesian optimization for sequential information acquisition,coupled with fine-tuning ResNet-34 (CNN) for surface-texture classification.
• Researched, designed, and implemented cryptographic schemes for embeddinginformation in 3D-printed parts, resulting in more than×2 increase in surfaceinformation capacity and 2 publications (+1 in progress).
• Developed a reinforcement learning framework (multi-arm bandits) forevaluating the performance of design heuristics and optimizing sequentialdecision-making processes, as evidenced by 1 publication.

• Surfaced data, built ETL pipelines, and designed a dashboard to preciselydiagnose safety-senors’ faults of a robotic manipulation arm (ROBIN) to enablefast troubleshooting and minimize on-site fault diagnosis.
• Developed and deployed (AWS SageMaker + Lambda + ECR) a scalable multilayerensemble model to alert for anomalous ROBIN stations based on theirperformance metrics, and surfaced diagnostic information in a dashboard.
• Led the development of a state-of-the-art computer vision model utilizingsemantic segmentation techniques to accurately flag bin overhangs for Amazon storagepods, resulting in a 65% IoU during model validation.
• Formulated a singular indicator of site risk network-wide, through working withstakeholders and distilling insights from several safety metrics, to identifyhigh-risk sites and drive improvements.
