Optical Communications Research Assistant

PROBE Lab, Brown University, Prof. Toussaint           2023 - Present

There's an often unspoken issue surrounding the modern pulse oximeter: they have bias against darker skin. As a member of the PROBE lab, I leverage the intersection of information theory, signal processing, and machine learning with optics to aid in the development of a pulse oximeter that provides accurate readings for all skin types.

Communications Theory Research Assistant

World of Bits, Brown University, Prof. Rose                  2023 - Present

In noisy channels prone to high error rates, matching received signals to a codebook can be a computational arduous task. Hearkening to the ideas brought about by Prof. Medard of MIT, the World of Bits Research Group is looking to study a decoding algorithm called Guessing Random Additive Noise Decoding to shed light on ways in which efficient additive noise decoding can be generalized. 

Technical Lead (Co-President)

Brown Space Engineering, Brown University    2021- Present

As a leading engineer for Brown Space Engineering's Avionics Subgroup, I aid in the design and integration of our 3 divisions of communication with our satellite, PVDx: UHF antenna, S-Band patch antenna, UHF/S-Band ground station. Notably, I designed an S-Band feed horn and parabolic dish using CAD and a generalized self-iterative MATLAB scripts that predicts the efficiency of any parabolic structures at all angles. 

Undergraduate Teaching Assistant: Dynamics and Vibrations 

Brown University               Spring 2023, Spring 2024

As a UTA for ENGN0040, a rigorous introduction to engineering, I hold weekly office hours to bolster student's understanding of homework problems as well as conceptual aspects of the class. I also aid in helping students debug MATLAB code for homework assignments and design projects. 

Starlink Summer Intern

SpaceX   Summer 2024

As an intern for Starlink, I worked on the development of a testing framework in Python that parameterized the performance of the 'Mini' User Terminal. This involved designing and implementing algorithms to measure key performance metrics, such as signal quality and system calibration. I collaborated with the RF engineering team to optimize the testing procedure, ensuring the terminal met rigorous performance standards under varying operational conditions. Through this work, I helped streamline the testing process, contributing to the overall efficiency of Starlink's product development.

Business Analyst Intern

Capital One   Summer 2022

As a Business Analyst, I explored customer conversion trends in the framework of Capital One's Auto Refi product and identified subsegments of the market that could lead to differential conversion trends. To accomplish this, I constructed multivariate  branch regression models in Python that mapped customer habits to areas of potential drop off.

1st Year Peer Advisor

Brown University 2022 - Present

Notably called a Meiklejohn at Brown, with the help of Prof. van de Waal, I help advise a group of 10 first-years to aid in their navigation of class selection, academic resources, and adjustment to life at Brown.  

Catalyst Pre-Orientation Coordinator

Brown University Summer 2022

New Scientist Catalyst is a pre-orientation program at Brown University focused on making STEM an accessible space. Over the summer, I aided in guiding over 50 first-years through Catalyst which prepares them for Brown’s rigorous curriculum by assessing problem solving abilities and critical reasoning in the context of a growth mindset. In addition to leading class activities, I provided feedback on weekly assignments to foster a fruitful academic environment.
