I am an incoming freshman at University of California, Berkeley who hopes to study Computer Science, focusing on AI. I am a machine learning developer who has worked on computational approaches to create smarter machines. Currently, am working on managing an Machine Learning prediction project at Cruise and doing research at NVIDIA on simulation for surgical robotics. Previously, led Machine Learning research at San José State University /the BLINC(Bionic Limbs for Improved Natural Control) lab to reduce the cost of prosthetics from $10,000 to $700 and led neuro-symbolic AI research for Sophia the Robot, the world’s most human-like robot.
Most recent initiative was co-founding a startup, Voltx, a software platform that utilized machine learning and physics simulations to accelerate battery testing and materials discovery. Voltx was supported by Human Capital, Village Global (backed by Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos), and AIX Ventures.
