CODING
USACO Platinum coder applying machine learning and mathematical simulation to understand complex physical systems
Designed and coded a 25,000 parameter physics-informed neural network to decompose the capacity fade of lithium-ion batteries into specific electrochemical processes. Employed a two-step training process, during which penalization from physics-fidelity and regularization terms is gradually added to the loss function in order to guide the model towards physically meaningful solutions. The algorithm achieved an MAE of less than 1%, demonstrating its effectiveness

Undergraduate group research (REU) to motivate a proprietary, generalized shell model of turbulence. As part of the group, I wrote several programs in Julia that compare the energy and flux spectra of our model to those of more classical models from earlier literature (ie the Sabra model) in order to validate the dynamics and long-term behavior of our model

Independent neuroscience research to build proprietary stochastic gradient descent algorithm that leverages L-BFGS-B and Adam optimizer techniques to estimate the parameters of the Fitzhugh-Nagumo system of ODEs. Model achieved an MSE of less than 10-9, demonstrating its reliability in solving the inverse problem
