- Worked on developing CNNs for face detection, recognition, and matching. Focused onadding occlusion invariance to the networks.- Used TensorFlow to prototype, develop, and test ideas for different network architectures andlearning schemes.

- Validated new chip functionality on a switch.- Wrote a MATLAB simulation to determine bit-error-rate for coherent optical communication.- Developed MATLAB code for a coherent optical phase estimator.- Worked on modifying switch software to drive a new chip.

Analytical and Functional Biophotonics, NICHD• Developed MATLAB preprocessing for fNIRS (functional near infrared spectroscopy) data.• Developed MATLAB GUI and signal visualization for fNIRS data analysis.• Implemented fNIRS classification algorithm using SVM.

Analytical and Functional Biophotonics, NICHD• Studied/modified Monte-Carlo simulation of diffuse optical scattering to calculate efficiencygain of modified 2-photon microscope.• Developed MATLAB software for brainwave analysis. Specifically orthogonal subspaceprojections and 2-factor classification using LDA.• Developed Java software to do large scale clustering of fMRI monkey brain data using k-medoids and k-means.

Circuit Dynamics and Connectivity Unit, NINDS• Evaluated diffusion rate of lipophilic dyes in brain tissue.• Wrote MATLAB program to translate the format of segmented neuron tracking files using re-cursive tree tracing.
