I am strongly passionate about computational research, applications of machine learning/artificial intelligence in scientific settings, computer vision, data science, and more. I am continuously looking for more ways to expand my knowledge in various areas of computational science. I truly believe that learning is a continuous process and do not desire to limit my capabilities in any form.
I will be spending this summer as a High-Performance Intern for NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center and NASA's Center for Climaqte Science, (NCCS). Here I am tasked with the application of HPC to ML/AI algorithms and code to investigate the performance of NASA's supercomputing units.
Before my internship with NASA and the GSFC/NCCS I was an undergraduate researcher at the New Jersey's Center for Science Technologuy and Mathematics located at Kean University in Union, NJ. Here I am tasked with the development of an open-source tool that is capable of three-dimensional visualization of biological cells using machine learning. I am infinitely grateful for the knowledge and opportunities I have acquired. In and out of academic settings I have grown confidently into the role of undergraduate researcher, driven intern, determined student, and critical thinker.

Computational Modeling Offers New Insight Into Drosophila Germ Granule Development Biophysical Journal
Credit is given due to contributions toward computational and mathematical modeling of germ granule development. Developed a CGI, Common Gateway Interface, through web server using Linux and HTML. This CGI creates a web form that allows users to:
Alter dependent variables that affect the development of the granules
Produces predictions on the behavior of the granules through GIFs of graphs
And protects the original code source.
