Under the guidance of mentors Wendy Wenderski and Shizhong Dai in the Stanford Science Groups Mentorship Program, I composed a research paper and presentation titled "Disparities in Layoffs Among Silicon Valley's Hardware and Software Engineers," which explored how the emergence of AI is transforming the employment landscape for engineers. Through thorough data collection and analysis, I examined the correlation between company type—hardware versus software—and layoff rates and analyzed the total number of employees impacted in 2023. The results of this study led to an opportunity to present my findings in a professional setting to Stanford post-doctorates, staff, and peers.
