• Worked with a team of Machine Learning researchers and engineers to develop PettingZoo, a popular open-sourced library that has facilitated research in multi-agent reinforcement learning.
• Fine-tuned hyperparameters of reinforcement learning algorithms that maximized the total expected return.
• Ran large scale experiments using RLlib in GPU clusters and Google Cloud Platform. The results are part of multiple scientific publications.

• Led and mentored a diverse team of 2 undergraduates and 2 graduate students to develop a new finite element approach that improved the accuracy of the predicted distortion by 30% and reduced the computational time by.
• I led a undergraduate student team to design an surgical incision device, called BondTrue, in collaboration with a physician who also tested the prototypes. We used nylon 3D printing to make all the components and.

• Developed a new methodology to design medical self-management tools with high usability. The methodology intends to involve user feedback early in the design process.
• Identified the features and functions of medical devices that impact usability by executing a series of usability tests to capture key design functions.
• Conducted experimental evaluations of hand-held design features and functions for individuals with vision and mobility impairment.
• Formulated user-centric design methodology to integrate user preferences into the design of medical website portals.

I supported and collaborated with a team of software engineers to maintain the front-end of the commercial mortgage division by testing the website, reproducing existing code bugs, finding new bugs, and proposing code fixes. Moreover, I designed and coded an internal time check-in and check-out website for all employees as my intern project. The website.

• Conducted detailed assessments of damages on the structure of Boeing 737, 757, and 767.
• Designed structural repairs in deep collaboration with Boeing and FAA ensuring safety and supporting continued operation of aircrafts.
• Developed unique repairs based on field experience that were adopted in Boeings 737 Structural Repair Manual.
• Oversaw the repairs installation.
• Trained and mentored newly hired engineers.

• Designed and selected hydroelectric power plant equipment and main systems for new and rehabilitation projects.
• Successfully designed and supervised both the fabrication and installation of power plant gates for hydropower plants.

Designed houses that reduced energy consumption and improved thermal comfort in a multidisciplinary project. The designs were analyzed with a mathematical model to simulate both thermal comfort and energy consumption. Ultimately, I prepared a full budget for proposed house designs to demonstrate the feasibility of designs.
