- Currently working on weakly supervised deep-reinforcement learning frameworks in prompt engineering for large vision models to segment tumors/organs without spatial prompts- Developing novel techniques, including automating point prompt generation in SAM using clustering methods, resulting in state-of-the-art accuracy with significantly reduced labeled medical spatial data- Optimizing few-shot learning in large vision transformer models by implementing iterative learning techniques that prioritize highly uncertain MRI imaging data, achieving state-of-the-art accuracy with only a small percentage of labeled data

Kansas City, Missouri, United States

- Helped students in a two-week long summer camp sponsored by the National Security Agency (NSA) and the National Science Foundation Research Experiences for Undergraduates (NSF REU) understand essential cybersecurity and AI concepts such as encryption, hashing, Large Language Models (LLMs), and basic Python coding, with a strong emphasis on Internet of Things (IoT) applications using Raspberry Pi devices- Assisted in conducting interactive sessions on IoT security, data breach prevention, and botnet/DDoS attack mitigation, ensuring students could apply theoretical knowledge in practical scenarios- Guided students in building projects that integrated all the concepts taught during the camp, including real-time monitoring and alerts in IoT, enhancing their learning experiences through comprehensive and practical applications

Kansas City, Missouri, United States

- Designed a two month intensive course for The Center of Excellence in Spatial Computing, supported by the U.S. Department of Education, aimed at equipping students from underrepresented populations with crucial spatial computing skills enhanced by artificial intelligence- Delivered interactive lectures and developed comprehensive lesson plans and assignments, encompassing fundamental machine learning and deep learning principles, AR/VR development in Unity, and the integration of AI, 3D scanning, and object detection within virtual environments.- Provided personalized support to students, facilitating their understanding and application of spatial computing concepts, deep learning algorithms (with a particular emphasis on YOLO), and the use of Large Language Models (LLMs) to improve explainability and interaction in AR/VR settings.

- Developed a predictive model to gain insight into competing internet service providers' data rates and prices.- Used a stacking ensemble technique to combine several regression models, such as XGBoost, Random Forest, and Linear Regression, to make predictions about competitors' prices- Established an automated machine learning pipeline using Apache Airflow for efficient prediction on relevant data- Performed complex analyses to identify qualifying households with subpar data rates for marketing purposes

Kansas City, Missouri, United States

- Assisted in a research project to accurately segment kidney tumors, liver tumors, and COVID-19 in lungs using low parameter U-Net semantic segmentation models- Preprocessed CT scan images and constructed multiple deep-learning models while utilizing CUDA within a virtual Linux environment.- Experimented with techniques to enhance the lightweight U-Net models with kidney-to-liver tumor and liver-to-kidney tumor cross-transfer learning to surpass state-of-the-art models.

Kansas City, Missouri, United States

- Redesigned and replaced the static application status management spreadsheet with a user-friendly dynamic application by utilizing Oracle APEX, SQL, PL/SQL, and HTML5/CSS to easily keep track of 60+ projects- Cleaned data within a status management database and performed data wrangling to create complex queries for data analysis and data visualizations to then push to a standalone application- Obtained a Q-Level security clearance from the Department of Energy
