Fourthbrain.ai is a venture-backed startup scaling machine learning instruction for those looking to break into an AI/ML career.

Berkeley, Ca, Us

I worked on image compression using hierarchical sparse coding models.

Berkeley, Ca, Us

I worked on problems related to visual perception and the use of Vector Symbolic Architectures as a framework for visual scene representation. I also did a lot sparse coding.

Berkeley, Ca, Us

Lectured in discussion sections and developed content for EECS16A--"Designing Information Devices and Systems I". This is the first core course required of EECS majors at Berkeley and covers a wide variety of topics from linear algebra to circuit analysis and data science.

New York, Ny, Us

I designed and carried out two research projects related to the development of CTRL-Labs' neural interface technology. A little bit of deep learning, a little bit of classical signal processing, and other fun things.

Mountain View, Ca, Us

I wrote software (C++) for one of the advanced sensor teams that supports the self-driving car effort at Google [X]

Houston, Tx, Us

I was co-president of the Rice undergraduate chapter of IEEE for the 2014-2015 school year. Our goal was to promote fellowship among electrical engineers at Rice and to connect them with fulfilling academic and professional opportunities. Check 'em out at http://ieee.rice.edu/

Houston, Tx, Us

Jacob Robinson's lab at Rice is developing experimental tools to push electrophysiology beyond current limits using photonic and nanoengineering technologies - I joined the lab in the early days and built custom laboratory equipment like a solenoid valve controller and a syringe manipulation device that are used in conjunction with custom microfluidic chips to conduct high-throughput electrophysiology.

Houston, Tx, Us

One of roughly twenty seniors at Rice who conducted interviews with prospective high school students throughout the school year.

Houston, Tx, Us

Proofreader of course material and form moderator for a massive open online class offered through Rice on the EdX platform.

Houston, Tx, Us

Performed time-domain terahertz spectroscopy of novel uranyl peroxide clusters. Worked on custom equipment for terahertz optics setup.

Mountain View, Ca, Us

I wrote software to test and debug low-power RF devices and I also led a rapid prototyping effort for a consumer electronics device on the contact lens project at Google [x].

Palo Alto, Ca, Us

Worked on several projects including building test infrastructure, development of new 12Gbps SAS hardware, and verification of next generation HDDs and solid state drives using various application, link and physical layer tools.

Albuquerque, Nm, Us

Contributed to a couple projects (both sensitive/classified) used in device testing and characterization, including both hardware and software solutions. LabView and TestStand as a general framework as well as microcontroller hardware and software. Additional digital signal processing project involving IEEE 802.15.4 (ZigBee).

Albuquerque, Nm, Us

Design, testing, and implementation of a proof of concept in the weapons division. Principal oversight of the sub-project, including supervision of another intern, procurement, budgeting, and summer’s end recommendation.

Worked for a medical imaging startup company on post-processing of clinical trial data. Part of a small and dedicated team working toward better skin cancer detection methods. http://www.skinfrared.com/

Albuquerque, Nm, Us

Worked under a grad student in the EE department to chracterize type-II strained layer superlattices for applications in infrared photodetection.

Albuquerque, Nm, Us

Tracking and characterization of IgE receptor clustering on RBL-Mast cells observed with TIRF microscopy. Project utilized ImageJ and MATLab.
