SURF @ Caltech Used PFLOTRAN in order to simulate long-term reaction-transport dynamics for long-term carbon-sequestration, and built a pipeline for everything from deciding simulation parameters to visualizations.
Student Researcher: Predicting Protein-Ligand Binding Affinity Led a six-member student team to evaluate and improve 3D-CNN, SG-CNN, and hybrid quantum-classical models for ligand–protein binding energy prediction using PDB data. Replicated and improved some papers!
QIntern 2025 Tested classical and QML models to predict molecular pIC50 values from feature sets, achieving R2 up to 0.43. Maintained a code repository documenting model comparisons, with thorough documentation.
BacDive Visualizations Check it out! You can see connections between antibiotic resistance/sensitivity between genera. https://bacdive.streamlit.app/
2024
Quantum Materials & Devices Lab @ UCLA Set up ODMR for hBN quantum-emitter characterisation.
Summer ML School @ IIT Bombay Was fun, class size was extremely small (~5 people in my cohort, so learnt a lot ^^.
2023
CRISPR & VLP Lit Review Co-authored review on VLP-mediated CRISPR delivery.
Quantum+Chips Program @UMinnesota Got background/jump start on what we can and can't do with quantum computing, and where potential advantages would be.
2019 – 2022
DECA IBP track Did this every year for three years, aced provincials every time :)
HOSA Main benefits are me telling my friends that one year, I was officially the most medically ethical person in Canada
MUN & Case Competitions Shortcut to becoming a professional yapper.
2018 and earlier
Rube Goldberg Competitions I think these might have been unnaturally popular where I grew up, but these were incredibly fun! To this day I am ready to make anything unnecessarily complicated but more exciting if prompted.
Battle of the Books Fueled my reading obsession and got me to read fiction books I wouldn’t have stumbled across otherwise, and brought me to a few of my childhood favourites (the Neil Flambe series, Lockwood and Co. series, and many many more. So many more)..
Caribou Math Contests Waterloo has the most fun math competitions for kids. No further evidence needed, you can confirm this yourself.
