Projects

Ongoing research with MIT's Computational Cardiovascular Research Group on representation learning for cardiology—predicting MRI-relevant cardiac phenotypes from ECG-derived signals. Building the data pipeline, modeling stack, and evaluation framework focused on generalization, failure modes, and clinical interpretability. The lab uses machine learning and signal processing to turn clinical signals like ECGs into predictive computational biomarkers and risk models that guide clinical decisions.

Flight control software for a CubeSat satellite selected for NASA's CSLI (CubeSat Launch Initiative) program, with launch scheduled for April 2026. Embedded Python running on a Raspberry Pi RP2350 microcontroller that manages all satellite operations including attitude control, communication, power management, and mission phases through a finite state machine architecture.

Full-stack web application that helps researchers navigate academic publications by visualizing paper citation relationships in an interactive force-directed graph. The platform addresses information overload in academic research by aggregating papers from three major academic APIs (Arxiv, OpenAlex, CORE) in parallel, visualizing citation networks using D3.js physics simulation, and generating AI-powered summaries using Google Gemini 2.0 Flash.

150+ attendees · 50+ Shanghai high schools · expanding to Greece, Turkey, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, Vietnam, South Korea, and India

Helped run HackHarvard China for high school students by building beginner-friendly workshops and bootcamps, then supporting teams through mentoring and judging.

Built a simulation framework analyzing 150,000+ patient-donor interactions to optimize kidney allocation policies. Designed algorithms balancing efficiency, urgency, and fairness objectives, with automated parameter sweeps and data visualizations.

Research with Golden Lab's Planetary Health Research Group at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health analyzing climate-linked health impacts. Compiled and validated datasets of harmful algal blooms and marine intoxication events with geocoordinates, then linked outbreaks to ocean-color and environmental satellite data to study warning lead times. Analyzed relationships between drought/cyclones and malnutrition/mental health, sea temperature rise and harmful algal blooms, deforestation and vector-borne disease, and wildfire-driven air pollution impacts on stillbirth and acute respiratory infections.

Research project analyzing how cross-modal attention mechanisms affect multimodal image compression. Built evaluation framework to systematically test attention ablations and visualization tools to inspect model behavior. Conducted experiments on 600+ images across 25 conditions, finding that architectural regularization effects drive performance improvements more than caption content at inference.

800+ attendees · 120+ universities · 15 countries

Helped organize the world's largest student-run undergraduate tech conference, building the online conference portal and improving attendee experience.

Real-time meeting assistant that transcribes conversations and automatically tracks agenda completion using AI. Processes live speech to update meeting agendas dynamically, ensuring you never miss important discussion points.

Best Overall at Google Accessibility Hackathon. Co-designed an accessible social media app (similar to TikTok) with Code Your Dreams and Deaf Kids Code. The platform incorporates lights, ASL integration, and haptic vibrations to create a complete sensory experience for Deaf and hard-of-hearing users.

750+ attendees · six-figure budget

Across three years, I helped run Harvard's largest undergraduate hackathon across hacker experience, logistics, and finance—and now support continuity on the advisory board.

Cross-platform mobile and web application revolutionizing education funding through AI-powered scholarship matching. The platform connects students with funders by aligning aspirations with funding objectives, featuring activity tracking, achievement logging, and transparent impact metrics. Built for iOS, Android, and web.

Second place at HackMIT 2023. A React-based food tracking application that leverages OCR technology and custom text parsing algorithms to automatically inventory groceries from receipt scans. The platform tracks expiration dates, sends alerts, enables community food sharing, and provides recipe suggestions.

Built and managed a peer-to-peer website helping high school students navigate school life, including club information, course offerings, and a guide for navigating Chicago's Loop. A resource built by students for students.

300+ students since 2022

Founded an annual elementary-school hackathon in partnership with Chicago public schools, featuring hands-on workshops like Scratch game development, Makey Makey circuits, robotics, and intro to cybersecurity/AI.

Helped run my high school hackathon by coordinating collaboration between CS clubs—robotics, Girls Who Code, CS Honor Society, and Women in STEM—to create a beginner-friendly event for first-time builders.
