Experience
Particle Detector AI Researcher — CERN
Geneva, Switzerland · Jun 2026 – Aug 2026
AI-Friendly Architecture for HGCAL L1T Reconstruction
- Researched AI-friendly hardware architectures for Level-1 trigger reconstruction on the High Granularity Calorimeter (HGCAL), targeting real-time inference constraints.
- Ran simulations of HGCAL test-beam data and trained and validated clustering models for reconstruction.
Math Teaching Fellow & Undergraduate Teaching Assistant — Brown University
Jan 2026 – Present
- Primary instructor for a 30+ student section of MATH 200 (Multivariable Calculus), leading weekly discussion sections on partial derivatives, Jacobians, and integral theorems.
- Designed problem-based, active-learning instruction with >60% of section time devoted to collaborative problem solving.
- Held group office hours averaging 20+ students per session for targeted homework and concept support.
Co-Founder & Hardware Engineer — IoTable
Sept 2025 – Present
- Designed an end-to-end IoT occupancy sensing system achieving >95% counting accuracy at 1–5 m range, using an ESP32-S3 and VL53L8CX ToF depth sensor.
- Developed a 4-layer PCB in KiCad with I2C level shifting, low-noise LDOs, USB-C power, and ESD protection; achieved first-spin bring-up via JLCPCB.
- Implemented embedded C/C++ firmware with temporal filtering, reducing false positives >30%, and streamed data via MQTT to an AWS dashboard at <200 ms latency.
Undergraduate Researcher — Brown UTRA (Robotics & Controls)
Sept 2025 – Dec 2025
- Implemented RL-based attitude/position controllers on Crazyflies, improving hover stability in fan-induced downwash ~30% vs. baseline PID.
- Built a telemetry pipeline for state estimation and flight logs, cutting controller iteration time from >1 hr to ~15 min per experiment.
- Prototyped multi-UAV disturbance tests and characterized nonlinear coupling with Bode/step-response analyses.
Electrical & Instrumentation Design Intern — LA County Sanitation Districts
Jun 2025 – Aug 2025
- Produced and QA'd 100+ pages of conduit schedules, one-line diagrams, P&IDs, and wiring diagrams for the Palmdale WRP upgrade, covering 500+ devices/conduits.
- Selected and specified I&C hardware to NEC/ISA standards, flagging conflicts early to prevent rework during field walks.
- Coordinated civil/mechanical/structural disciplines, cutting anticipated install time by ~10%.
