Various Happenings
| 2025 | |
|---|---|
| FLIQ Hackathon | Honarable mention — toy case of using QC to reduce complexity of a classifier for determining molecular toxiicity from SMILES ID.. |
| UCLA Cross-Campus Innovation Challenge | GenAI 3rd place — Ayurithmic (GenAI for Ayurvedic practitioners). |
| DataFest UCLA | Honourable mention — model predicting prime healthcare-lease sites. |
| GameJam UCLA | First serious attempt at Unity; imagine the dinosaur game, but with less functionality. https://sanskriti-ss.github.io/gamejam/ |
| BacDive Visualizations | Check it out! You can see connections between antibiotic resistance/sensitivity between genera. https://bacdive.streamlit.app/ |
| 2024 | |
| UCLA Cross-Campus Innovation Challenge | GenAI 3rd place — Philanthromatch (donor–nonprofit matching). |
| Y Quantum Hackathon | Track winner (SandboxAQ) — molecular modelling project. |
| 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. |
