Prototyped probabilistic surgical guidance pipeline identifying and parameterizing pulmonary stenosis regions
Constructed 3D pulmonary cardiovascular models using Simvascular, tuned boundary conditions with Nelder-Mead optimization, and solved 3D computational fluid dynamic and 0D lumped parameter network simulations using HPC clusters and multiprocessing.
Introduced a novel linear correction method that efficiently optimizes 0D models to 3D solutions, solving problems with modeling important pressure drops in vessel junctions and reducing mean pressure and flow errors to less than 5%.
Trained neural network surrogates simulating hemodynamic pressure and flow results within 1/20th of a standard catheter's margin of error.
Implemented OOP interface code to work with Simvascular 0D lumped parameter network and solver components
A paper is in works with intentions to file a patent.

Projects
StockNet - A Distributed Stock Game
Designed a distributed system that simulated a simplified stock market, involving multi-entity communication via TCP connections.
Ensured crash robustness, analyzed tradeoffs in latency, throughput, and persistence, and quantified performance as we scaled up.
2048RL
Implemented a 1-depth Monte Carlo tree search Deep Q Network, successfully using reinforcement learning to play the 2048 game.
BMinor Compiler
Built components of a compiler (scanner, parser, type-checker and code generator) for the BMinor language using flex, bison, C and x86.
GenderPredictor
Utilized CelebA Dataset and transfer learning from a pretrained face detection model (VGGFace2, Casia) to predict the gender of an individual.
Used ethnically diverse dataset to quantify model biases resulting from training using ethnically white dataset.
