Neurological Institute

• Applying ML techniques to develop an alert system for detecting pre-seizure (pre-ictal) waves andpredicting up-coming seizures using Python and packages like NumPy, Pandas, scikit-learn, and PyTorch.• Designing and implementing real-time algorithms to monitor brainwave activity, ensuring prompt alerts to patients when wave patterns, characterized and clustered by ML algorithms, closely resemble pre-ictal data.

Cleveland Clinic

• Developed an automated processing routine for seizure segmentation and characterization using SEEG data, facilitating the localization of epileptic foci and 4D brain network mapping.• Implemented time-frequency analysis, abrupt frequency change detection, and transition point visualization to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of SEEG data interpretation.• Gained experience in high-performance computing (HPC) environments, data processing, and algorithm automation.• Collaborated with mentors to integrate engineering principles and clinical needs, contributing to improved patient care and outcomes.• Deepened understanding of brain-computer interfaces (BCI) and the application of mathematical methods in neural data interpretation.

Solar Durability And Lifetime Extension Center

• Participating in an interdisciplinary study in Ohio aimed at creating a spatiotemporal geographic information system (st-GIS) to monitor, detect, and predict nitrogen pollution caused by synthetic nitrogen-based fertilizers (NBFs).• Collecting and integrating remote sensing data, digital soil mapping, and hydrological data into one advanced monitoring network for comprehensive monitoring of crop growth, soil conditions, and hydrological dynamics.• Applying advanced spatiotemporal analysis to key datasets, including MODIS satellite imagery from NASA, geospatial data from IBM and Google, USDA crop and soil datasets, and USGS water quality portal, with the goal of creating a predictive system for agricultural and environmental management.

Materials For Opto/Electronics Research & Education (More) Center

• Engineered automated workflows and infrastructures using R to streamline the data processing pipeline for collected datasets.• Generated comprehensive datasets by incorporating the chemical composition of samples and CSV files detailing 3D coordinates of material surfaces. Employed instruments such as Optical Profilometry (OP) and SEM/EDS.• Automated data cleaning procedures, including normalization, auto-cropping, auto-rotation, and error identification in data. This optimized data quality and facilitated the efficient extraction of key parameters.• Extracted valuable insights, such as surface roughness, degree of surface curvature, and concentration of specific chemical compositions, through end-to-end workflows designed to process a variety of inputs.

Case Transgenic And Targeting Facility

• Rodent Care and Handling: Conducted husbandry, handling, and precise restraint of specific pathogen-free rodents. Strict adherence to SOPs for microisolator and clean room protocols was maintained while utilizing proper PPE.• Hormone Administration: Administered hormones via intraperitoneal injection to induce superovulation in rodents, contributing to experimental protocols and research objectives.

The 9Th Infantry Division Army: Center For Initial Military Training

• Primary mission: Instill discipline, teach military skills, and develop teamwork and esprit de corps among the new soldiers.• Responsible for the education and well-being of a squad consisting of 32 recruits per enlistment, day and night, gaining a deep understanding of collaborative teamwork, leadership, and adaptability to high-stress environments.

The 9Th Infantry Division Army: Center For Initial Military Training

• Secondary mission: Apply data wrangling techniques to separate, categorize, and redistribute cleaned data to relevant divisions.• Conducted in-depth analysis of recruits' disorganized raw data from the Department of Defense using Excel, leveraging tools to wrangle, clean, and identify errors in the original muddled CSV file.• Facilitated effective communication with relevant teams and individuals, addressing data inquiries and ensuring seamless collaboration.
