- I’m a current undergrad at the College of Wooster. I am a double major in Physics and CS.
- I am currently working on a submission to the Mining Software Repositories 2025 conference. I am investigating factors that prevent developers from updating their dependencies to newer versions.
- I am currently working on a capstone project for the COSI python library cosipy. I am profiling their implementation of the Richardson-Lucy deconvolution algorithm. I hope to help make the library faster and more accessible to astrophysicists. I am not officially affiliated with the project.
- I have worked on the ADAPT mission as an NSF-REU. I tested some dynamically slimmable linear regression neural networks for gamma ray localization on a high-energy Compton space telescope. The goal was to do floating point prediction under size, power, and time constraints. Imagine a linear NN with an arbitrary "selection window" of active nodes, with control in the x and y "directions" of the network. It failed.
- I have worked in The College of Wooster Wavelab on an Electron Drift Velocitiy Analogue funded by an NSF-REU grant. I presented a poster at APS March 2024, and I have plans to submit to AIP's Physics of Fluids journal sometime before graduating.
- I'd like to collaborate on open source information and data science projects, particularly ones with a compelling social impact. I admire Cory Doctorow's work, and his profound belief that the internet is getting worse.
- Swartz, Snowden, Manning and everyone else were right in their view that access to information is the key to a free society. So too was Robert Ochigame. I think programmers collectively wield the most powerful tool ever built, and we should be opinionated about what we do with it.
- I would like to work on software for embedded systems architectures or scientific simulation work.
- I would like to build software that helps vulnerable people.
- I would like to achieve an MS in Electrical Engineering or go directly into industry out of undergrad.
