Research Scientist working on mathematical tools for Brain Computer Interfaces/Human Computer Interfaces.• Led and developed three external academic collaborations on HCI research using ML and Game Theory, including defining statements of work(SoW) contracts, master agreements, and evaluating SoW progress. Led to several publications by the institutions; conference papers were nominated for best paper.• Tech lead and designer for novel online algorithms research with multiple human computer interaction (HCI) devices to enable personalized interactions with AR/VR devices. The novel algorithmic method was integrated with multiple teams across the research organization, enabling HCI devices to work on 90+% of people out of the box.• Investigated methods for preserving data privacy; optimized compute intensive algorithms so that the algorithms could operate in a privacy-safe method without any lag in performance.• Developed new fNIRS signal processing techniques for brain computer interface (BCI) devices that eliminated outliers in the acquired data via comparisons to optical models of light propagation.• Open source BCI software platform design and development (https://github.com/facebookresearch/labgraph) to enable easier collaboration between teams and a lower barrier to entry for research projects. Reduced boilerplate code by a factor of 95% using advanced python techniques.

• Led and wrote SBIR and other research grants. • Developed novel image reconstruction methods for Magnetic Particle Imaging to elucidateiron nanoparticle dynamics via physics-based convex optimization models.• Formulated robust dehazing algorithm for MPI based on iron nanoparticle physics that significantly improves image conspicuity. Presented at WMIC 2018.• Developed the physics, signal processing, and business model for a novel product that acquiresnew information on iron nanoparticle dynamics using existing hardware. • Defined software engineering hiring policies and procedures. Designed coding interview challengesand hiring matrices.• Migrated image reconstruction and device control computer from Windows to NixOS.
