I love applying my skills at hackathons and have won top prizes at every single one I've attended, including prestigious collegiate ones such as UCLA's (1st place overall) and MIT's (3rd place overall). At school, I strive to help other students discover the power of computer science as the co-president of both the CS and AI clubs. I'm also very involved in schoolwide leadership activities and currently serve as the ASB secretary.

We present Sparse Fusion Transformers (SFT), a novel multimodal fusion method for transformers that performs comparably to existing state-of-the-art methods while demonstrating up to a six-fold reduction in computation and memory requirements.
Currently under review.

We propose the use of a modality-agnostic label noise tolerant technique involving training on interpolated latent representations along with their labels, encouraging neural networks to predict less confidently on these in-between examples. Our technique reduces the memorization of corrupt labels, which can alleviate the issue of noisy labels.

We propose an architecture (Latent Space) for a platform with end-to-end, near-lossless audio transmission tailored specifically to online joint music production. We discuss the usage of a recurrent autoencoder (ClefNet), propose a new evaluation metric (MSE-DTW), and detail the logistics of a live system implementation.
View PaperArchiscape is a PWA aimed at revolutionizing the fields of smart infrastructure, urban planning, and home design. Won 1st Place Overall at LAHacks 2020 (1,100+ participants), SoCal's largest hackathon and one of the world's largest collegiate hackathons. Featured in CBS News, The UCLA Newsroom, Build for COVID-19, Scommerce, and The Saratoga Falcon.

Centivize is a blockchain/AI based PWA that allows users with conditions less critical than COVID-19 to obtain diagnoses based on their medical histories and requests that volunteers are incentivized to fulfill via cryptocurrency.
Won 3rd Place Overall at COVIDathon 2020, the world's largest decentralized AI workplace hackathon. Worked with the Platform Team at SingularityNET to publish Centivize's summary and similarity algorithms on SNET's dApp: available here. Centivize will appear on the OceanProtocol compute to data platform in the near future.
