High School Diploma

Master of Science - MS

Bachelor of Science - BS

- Designed and conducted psychophysics experiments on macaque models to study visual perception and vision restoration outcomes
- Developed and implemented MATLAB-based experimental protocols for stimulus presentation, data collection, and behavioral response tracking
- Created and optimized visual stimuli tailored to experimental conditions, improving reliability of behavioral measurements
- Processed and analyzed experimental data to evaluate response patterns and treatment effectiveness
- Organized and curated datasets to support reproducibility and iterative experimentation
- Observed and assisted in surgical and experimental procedures

Research Assistant

- Advised 3-4 freshmen in CASC 352 (Rising Leader Class) on campus involvement and leadership
- Organized meetings throughout the semester to address any questions from mentees

Education Mentor

- Tutored students in writing courses as part of a pre-college program held by the Office of Minority Students

ECO Writing Fellow

- Led weekly biomechanics computer lab sessions, guiding students through experimental procedures and data interpretation
- Provided one-on-one academic support and clarified concepts in mechanics and quantitative analysis
- Assisted in reinforcing foundational understanding of engineering principles and experimental methods

BME 201P Teaching Assistant

- Supported international project coordination across teams in Europe and Asia
- Contributed to data organization and project documentation for cross-regional operations

Assistant

International Project Assistant

- Evaluated performance of lithium-ion battery systems by analyzing metrics such as battery life, output voltage, and charge efficiency
- Collected and processed experimental data across multiple product configurations to support comparative performance analysis

Research and Development Scientist

- Provide evening tutoring sessions at the writing center, assisting students with tasks ranging from lab reports to graduate school applications
- Review and provide feedback on student papers submitted through the University’s online tutoring system, Write-On

Writing Fellow

Biostatistics Intern

<p>- Conducted statistical analysis on evaluation datasets to investigate bias in large language model scoring systems, focusing on the relationship between response length and rubric-based scores 
- Designed and implemented experiments using correlation analysis (Pearson r) and multiple linear regression to quantify length-induced bias across evaluation dimensions 
- Developed length-controlled evaluation pipelines, filtering response pairs by token length to compute unbiased model win rates and reassess comparative performance 
- Analyzed model performance across multiple axes (e.g., completeness, relevance), identifying systematic scoring advantages linked to verbosity 
- Proposed and evaluated length-normalized scoring metrics (e.g., score per 100 tokens) to improve fairness in model benchmarking 
- Contributed to the design of bias-mitigating evaluation strategies, including rubric redesign and training approaches to reduce verbosity sensitivity in automated grading systems</p>
