Towards Whole Nervous System Emulation, on reverse-engineering a C. elegans nervous system through building custom state-of-the-art microscopes such as the DISPIM and SCAPE, mapping with deep learning models (i.e. RNNs) to emulate biological agents, embodied physical models, designing voltage indicators, expansion sequencing, 3d design, and miscellaneous tasks for “brain uploading,” under Davy Deng. Overall emulation project in collaboration with other labs.

Open Task and Motion Planning, development of an open-source symbolic planning formalism for better decision-making RL/robotics agents, leading to effective online belief-space planning and interpretable goals. Working under Phillip Christoffersen (in Dylan Hadfield-Menell’s Lab), contributing to experiments, applications to realistic environments, and expanded applications of the formalism.

Learning to build RF phase-array circuits for rat & marmoset MRI imaging, under Kevin Chung. Worked extensively with 3D fabrication, NMR spectroscopy, MRI imaging, circuit design/operation, and general signal processing.

Developed consumer-facing OS features for Apple's ecosystem, shipping production code in Objective-C, Swift, and Python. Designed system architecture for new feature handling encrypted data transfer across CloudKit/CryptoKit, accounting for edge cases in user and retail workflows. In addition,assisted in integrating ML models and pipelines into existing systems.

Part of the venture partner program at Contrary Capital, where I help source and evaluate deals.Some of the coolest communities I've been a part of.

As digital editor of Phillips Academy's newspaper, The Phillipian, I developed the annual State of the Academy (SOTA), a report based on data collected from the majority of the student body (the survey is completely anonymous and specific data is kept private). This publication is referenced to by faculty, alumni, students, and so on. SOTA won the 2022 NSPA Digital Story of the Year interactive graphic award.

I analyze brain imaging data and assist programmers on the development of virtual and augmented reality experiments to be used in participates with implanted neural electrodes, as well as am spearheading my own project!

After working on a project with DeepAI in 2019, I started to intern for them. I worked in content development, doing research on data science, writing articles, and marketing/outreach.

I'm a memory athlete (which sounds peculiar, but click this card to get started) and I was the longest reigning Words champion in the world on Memory League, 3rd place nationally at USAMC held at MIT (in which I was the youngest competitor out of various adults and older students), and the Youth Champion at the Taiwan International Championship. In addition, I was the 2021 World Speed Reading Champion at MSO. In fact, doing memory sports was what got me interested in neuroscience and especially memory!

Worked with the Broad Institute on scRNA-sequencing for cross-tissue analysis of senescent cells. (Hiatus)

NUJJET is our response to the widespread pandemic of high school stress of today. By creating a low cost neuroscience headset to monitor and modulate your brain (EEG/tDCS cap), we can help you study more effectively, and make long term changes. (Participated/won in Conrad Challenge, GATSVI, and Hack Club) (Hiatus)

MIRAI is a neural network that detects and outlines brain tumors in MRI brain scans. This model utilizes meta-learning and a MASK R-CNN to be able to detect brain tumors with an accuracy that rivals that of a professional. MIRAI takes in a MRI head scan and spits out a labeled one, as well as a precise outline of the tumor. Disclaimer: this model is for practice purposes only.

Neuroscientists are driven to understand a three-pound mass of neurons and glia pondering the morality and risks of studying themselves. Neuro-ethics is a broad field, yet evaluating the risks and benefits of brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) is a timely and critical topic due to the rapid development of technologies, including implants and wearables electronics.

This paper starts with an overview of elliptic curves and then summarizes the Lang-Trotter conjecture. It aims to show that the ratio of Supersingular primes that are 2 (mod 3) to those that are 1 (mod 3) approaches 2.

Is IQ a thing? We think no, and prove it by showing how easily we can create misleading graphs and data from some simple finagling and tricks.

I'm on the board and am CMO of Anomaly Science, which focuses on honing the art of the artisans through legal aid, engagement, the particle system, and the community. Currently raising our Series A round.

I do a lot of memory sports, and recently have been commentating on matches (and appearing on others), and most notably, the arena of memory, which is on twitch @ memorysportstv!

AngelHacks had remaining funds and we hoped to be able to donate a portion of it towards getting masks to those in need. We were able to donate a many K-N95 masks to non-medical yet essential public service workers.
