Research Assistant

Internship
05.2024 - 08.2024
  • In my research, I focused on leveraging machine learning techniques to predict epileptic seizures.
  • Motivated by the energy-efficient, brain-inspired spiking neural network (SNN), we propose a new method to extract the important features from the EEG signals using SNN.
  • The main goal is to develop a high-accuracy, energy-efficient AI (Artificial Intelligence) algorithm to predict seizures in real time.
  • We are proposing to develop an SNN with an effective training method.
  • By extracting significant spatiotemporal features from raw EEG signals, we expect to develop efficient algorithms that could be translated into a wearable device.
  • After compiling and summarizing relevant research articles and papers, I was ready to get started on learning more about SNN.
  • Key moments that I’ve learned during this experience are using software tools (e.g., MATLAB, R, Python) to clean, organize, and analyze data, identifying and troubleshooting technical issues with equipment or experimental procedures, and developing both technical and soft skills relevant to the research area and beyond.

Affiliations

I used to sing with my father ever since I was 3. Then a year later I transitioned into loving to dance when I first discovered artists like Beyoncé and Micheal Jackson. I learned the choreography to ‘Single Ladies’ at the age of 4 and would try to mimic iconic dance moves that Micheal Jackson would conduct. After that discovery, my love for dance grew everyday and we would teach myself on how to dance and soon would take classes in the arts. In my teenage years I also grew a love for acting. It was difficult for me to express my desire to act because I am an introvert and have stage fright. In my junior year of high school I decided to overcome my fear and sign up for theater. Slowly but surely, acting has also helped me open up more and not be too shy around others and not care for what others think.

Personal Interests - Astronomy

  • My interest in outer space started in the 4th grade when I had to do a project on Saturn. Learning about planets drew my curiosity for space. I began to start stargazing with my father to admire the stars and partake in astrophotography. Capturing stunning images of the night sky filled me up with so much pleasure. It wasn't until college when I started to regain interest in space. I adventure out to explore space outside of school and seek opportunities to further my passion of astronomy. I combine my interest in both technology and astronomy into a pursuing career in the near future.

Self-directed Learning & Game Design Club Member

  • Joined a game design club to collaborate with peers, exchange ideas, and deepen understanding of industry trends, best practices, and design techniques. Now I'm working toward creating an original game, applying newly acquired skills to conceptualize, design, and develop a playable prototype.
