Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States

-Implemented algorithms for knowledge transfer in data-scarce simulations of alloy microstructures reducing error over baselines by 50%, presented at MS&T 2023-Built Graph Neural Network for molecule representations reducing error by up to 90% on unseen domains, directing experiments with active learning and uncertainty quantification

Mountain View, California, United States

- Built automated tool to measure of the potential of improvement fro new features in machine learning models- Developed framework to generate features given any token-based discrete signal, with online inference system to extend clusters to new inputs based on user data- Designed and implemented machine learning based system to approximate unknown user.

- Built models identifying engagement of organizational theories in sociological academic papers, achieving a final test accuracy of around 90% - Developed numerous visualizations and pipelines evaluated multiple evaluation metrics- Instructed teammates and created pipelines for training transformers on Microsoft Azure

Berkeley, California, United States

- Performed hundreds of experiments, analysis, design for Learned Incremental Representations for Parsing, winner of Overall Best Paper (ACL 2022)- Experimented with incrementality, backwards cycles, and tree-based transformers - Co-authored final research paper, co-designed and composed conference presentation

- Researched and prototyped N-shot learning models, synthetic training data for CNNs, and other machine learning models to detect defective wafer from imaging techniques- Implemented and expanded upon research papers, reduced false positive rate of an EM based method by 3x compared to the base paper while also reducing false negatives- Created dockerized.

- Researched applications of word/text vectorization to match questions with potential experts as well as suggest tag words for improved topic searches using existing NLP frameworks- Developed and researched methods to efficiently apply NLP algorithms to a MongoDB database system and an existing full stack application
