AI Research Intern
Science Research Mentoring Program (SRMP)
06.2023 - 10.2024
- At the American Museum of Natural History, under the mentorship of a PhD specialist, I co-developed an AI model for species detection.
- The AI model reached 94% accuracy. (Soon to be published)
- I developed my python skills in this internship.
- The project focused on identifying animal presence and irregularities in bird migration patterns.
- Over a year and a half, I collaborated with three team members to create a tool that significantly advanced conservation efforts.
- We presented our findings to an audience of over 1,900 at one of NYC's largest consortiums, where I was honored as the top-ranked speaker.
- This research provides a novel approach to detecting and mitigating the effects of climate change on various species.
- Along the way, I honed my communication skills and am eagerly anticipating the publication of our work in the coming months!
Research Intern
Columbia Engineering Research Program (SHAPE)
07.2024 - 08.2024
- I conducted research on sustainable bio-concrete solutions under the guidance of a PhD mentor.
- Throughout the program, I explored the historical development of bio-concrete and worked with a team in a lab to engineer environmentally friendly alternatives.
- Our goal was to address the negative environmental impacts of traditional concrete while maximizing its potential benefits.
- At the conclusion of the program, my team and I presented a literature review to an audience of over 150 people.
- This experience honed my skills in communication and innovation, providing valuable insights into the daily work of engineers and the key competencies needed for success, particularly the importance of effective collaboration.
