1. Currently performing the statistical analysis of 2 PBs of data collected from a large nuclear physics experiment to extract physics insights. The final results are expected to be published in a peer-reviewed scientific journal.2. Built and fine-tuned an end-to-end supervised machine learning model for particle identification, achieving 96% accuracy.3. Utilized diverse modeling techniques for accurately computing and removing background interference from the experimental dataset.4. Enhanced efficiency and statistics by performing detector calibrations using linear regression, chi-squared minimization, and other empirical techniques.5. Developed software and GUI to handle various tasks needed during the running of a large-scale nuclear experiment, which are being used by the entire collaboration (125 active collaborators from 66 institutions in 14 countries)6. Managed all aspects of a large-scale nuclear physics experiment in a Department of Energy (DoE) owned national laboratory by coordinating and negotiating with the accelerator division and other experimental halls, for one week.

1. Predicted the rate of background radiation of a large nuclear physics experiment via simulation. Analyzed the simulated data and communicated the insights gained with the entire collaboration, leading to key changes in the experimental run plan and resulting in successful data collection.2. Developed realistic simulation of a novel high-precision tracking detector and successfully explained the reason behind poorer than expected spacial resolution.

1. Modeled a physical system and studied various phase transitions via eigenvalue decomposition of very large matrices.2. Optimized the code efficiency by studying the scaling behavior of computation time as the size of the matrix grows.3. Performed exploratory data analysis to extract physics insights from numerical data.
