- Engineered API for US Space Force, utilizing vector databases, unsupervised machine learning, and LLMs to automate classifying unstructured data, recommending equivalence classes, and generating data descriptions, enhancing operational efficiency.- Investigated ML/AI extractive, abstractive and hybrid summarization methods, covering single/multi-document approaches, and developed a reference-free metric aligning summaries with leadership and user preferences.- Leads productionalization efforts, optimizing and implementing ML/AI summarization methods into a robust API endpoint. Integrated top performing extractive and abstractive techniques for document and meeting summarization.- Led development of a versatile program for a military-focused data company, optimizing Elasticsearch indexes. Reduced index size from 1.1 TB to 3 GB, improving retrieval speeds, data quality, and reducing cloud costs.- Expanded and leads a dynamic team of 6 software engineers and data scientists, promoting collaboration and driving innovation.- Leads technology roadmap development, integrating vector databases, and implementing cutting-edge features like LLMs for document summarization and interactive data Q&A and seamless 3rd-party data integration.- Successfully wrote 2 Direct-to-Phase 2 SBIR proposals, totaling $2.5M in funding for Space Force projects. Primary liaison with Government and Industry partners, effectively communicating complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.

- Engineered a high-throughput image analysis pipeline and dashboard, reducing time-to-actionable insights from days to hours.- Developed machine learning models for image classification and contamination detection, fortifying image quality control.- Implemented a hybrid machine learning/manual flow cytometry pipeline, complemented by Omics QC and analysis pipelines.- Collaborated with laboratory teams and partners, providing data-driven insights for experimental design and planning. Presented experimental findings, fostering effective communication and collaboration.

- Led development of large-scale data and research pipeline for DARPA, reducing data-to-insights from weeks to hours.- Developed machine learning algorithms for flow cytometry cell screening, achieving performance parity with traditional methods, and denoising, leading to substantial improvements in downstream analyses and more robust conclusions.- Established efficient large-scale RNAseq and smallRNAseq processing pipelines, and published a method to quantify dynamic features in gene expression data.

- Developed business plan for SimPath, a synthetic biology company focused on democratizing science.- Negotiated and secured exclusive license for a novel cloning technology from ORNL.- Awarded ORNL’s Technology Innovation Program Phase II grant ($260,000).- Selected for five pitches at the local and regional levels, winning two ($15,000).

• Performed market assessment and customer discovery for 3 technologies developed by ORNL scientists.• Summarized and reported findings to ORNL Technology Transfer staff.

• Published five articles (three first authorships) in journals such as Nature Communications and Plant Science.• Applied gene regulatory inference and periodicity detection algorithms to investigate circadian control of gene expression dynamics between crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) and C3 species using time series gene expression data. Identified phase-shifted metabolic processes and core circadian clock components.• Identified hypothetical stomata-related genes in various plant species through mining of large-scale text data and subsequent orthology analysis.• Identified high confidence gene candidates involved in the inversion of stomatal movement between CAM and C3 species via correlation analysis of several time series transcriptomic datasets.

• Created lesson plans and taught Environmental Science and Biodiversity courses for ~60 undergraduate non-Science-related majors and ~30 undergraduate Environmental Science majors.
