Fall 2024 (September - December) - Dr. Fan Chen's Lab

Investigated quantum convolutional neural networks (QCNNs) within hybrid classical-quantum models. Applied Python (especially TensorFlow Quantum) and quantum computing concepts to study QCNNs

Computational Thinking Lab - Present

After wrapping up my Fall 2024 research with a poster session presentation, I joined the Computational Thinking Lab for a semester research with Dr. Vardhan, and after that I continued with the lab as a student researcher on an ongoing basis.

Conducted academic research on the application of Large Language Models to clinical data (specifically EHR data), information extraction, and diagnosis prediction. Was the lead author on a paper associated with such research, which was submitted to the International Joint Conferences on Artificial Intelligence (IJCAI). Also operated a SLURM-based computing cluster to enable distributed training and inference using DeepSpeed and tensor parallelism, while implementing both learned and traditional NLP evaluation metrics. .

Presented findings to both technical stakeholders and non-technical audiences in a poster session.
