• Collaborated with Physicists from NCNR[NIST], PML[NIST] and UMD on building workflows for data from novel INFER method. • Demonstrated the effectiveness of Synthetic Data obtained from Data-driven simulations for training AI based segmentation of Neutron Images using a checkerboard-based class-balancing strategy. Added synthetic scene generation and augmentations for anticipated future experiments. This addressed challenges caused by data scarcity due to prolonged neutron source shutdowns.• Investigated the effects of mixing Physics based and Data-driven simulation on model training.• Implemented validated webforms to standardize generation of complex experimental metadata files and for ai-model-cards. • Containerized and deployed plugins and workflow to the Web Image Processing Pipeline (WIPP) developed at NIST.

• My team implemented a Rubik's cube solver algorithm for a hypothetical robot and developed a Visual Basic-based GUI and generated discrete logical commands for the hypothetical robot. We adapted and implemented algorithms such as speedcubing to obtain a method that saves time and can be applied to solve any configuration of an unsolved cube. Overcame challenges such as reliable initial configuration of cube that can be handled by the algorithm.
