Work History

Applied AI Research Assistant

San Diego State University
08.2024 - Current
  • Developed a computer vision-based navigation system for drones, integrating deep learning techniques for real-time obstacle detection and path planning in confined indoor spaces
  • Implemented NLP-based voice command recognition, leveraging LangChain and LlamaIndex to enable intuitive drone control and improve real-time responsiveness
  • Trained and fine-tuned GPT-4 on AWS P4D instances using PyTorch, optimizing model parameters and enhancing retrieval-augmented decision-making, resulting in a 40% improvement in path success rate across 100+ test runs
  • Enhanced drone path planning efficiency by constructing a knowledge graph that captured environmental constraints and drone capabilities reducing navigation errors by 30% and optimizing flight efficiency

Project Lead - Crowd Flow Simulation

SDSU Research
12.2024 - 05.2025
  • Led the design of a hybrid deep learning pipeline for crowd trajectory forecasting, combining ConvLSTM and Social-LSTM models trained on 10,000+ frame sequences with 500k+ annotated trajectories
  • Incorporated Trajectory Transformer to model global attention across pedestrian paths, outperforming RNN-based baselines on long-horizon predictions
  • Accelerated real-time inference through TorchScript compilation and CUDA kernel tuning, sustaining sub-100ms latency for simulation integration
  • Engineered real-time visualization overlays using OpenCV, enabling sub-100ms inference latency and predictive simulation of future crowd flows up to 10 seconds ahead
