Experience

Elk Preservation Application

Jan 2026 — Present Emory Department of Computer Science
  • Architected and deployed the backend for a PERC wildlife webapp supporting elk conservation, with a PostgreSQL database for image metadata and cloud object storage for image assets (GCloud Run, Scheduler, Secrets, SQL, Storage).
  • Integrated a Firebase-hosted React application with the backend API, enabling ranchers to upload wildlife photos.
  • Fine-tuning a ViT classification model on pretrained YOLOv9 object detection to estimate elk counts from images, supporting fair compensation for elk-related land damages.

Child Care Quality Dataset

Oct 2025 — Present Center for Data Science, Emory Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing
  • Developed and cleaned a new AI/ML benchmark dataset of child care quality ratings, scraped via Playwright from the Georgia Department of Early Care and Learning.
  • Developing a causal discovery graph via FPM and PC alongside a DiCE counterfactual framework to prune, identify, and rank key determinants of high-quality child care across 245 provider attributes.

Healthcare Reinforcement Learning Research

Oct 2025 — Feb 2026 TAIL Lab, Emory Department of Computer Science
  • Conducted an empirical study on the consistency of Set-Valued Policies and Dead-End Discovery frameworks for clinician-in-the-loop treatment recommendation.
  • Designed and evaluated a partial ordering of recommended actions giving clinicians actionable recommendations for sepsis patients, evaluated on MIMIC-III.

Summer Oxford Research Scholars

May 2025 — Aug 2025 Math & CS Department, Oxford College of Emory University
  • Developed a Learned Gumbel-Noise Active Sparse Mobile Crowd Sensing framework in PyTorch using a Time Series Transformer and a custom active sensor selection layer, reducing reconstruction error of missing sensor data by up to 28% against traditional Time Series Transformers.
  • Published and presented a first-authored paper and poster at IPCCC '25.

ECG Classification Research

Nov 2024 — Oct 2025 Center for Data Science, Emory Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing
  • Developed an ensemble learning framework via AutoGluon, ECG-FM, FFT, and Wavelet Transform for classification of 12-lead electrocardiograms.
  • Placed 39th in the 2025 George B. Moody PhysioNet Challenge.
  • Published and presented a first-authored paper at CinC '25.
