My name is Ayush, and I am part of the magnet program Montgomery Blair High School.
I have experience in not only STEM, in my high school years, but also the humanities in my years in the humanities program at Eastern Middle School. I have been part of an FLL team and am currently a part of my FRC team.
In 2019, my FLL team made it to States by advocating an alternate evacuation procedure for disabled children in event of a fire. I am currently on my high school FRC team on Mechanics.
Two fellow students and I published a documentary to C-SPAN in 2019 called "Vaping: A Youth Crisis" and won 2nd place. It has since been published to win many more competitions.
During a summer internship at the ICAR labs in Clemson University, I had the experience of re-training a pre-trained AI model and presenting my research to an audience.
During the subsequent summer, in a summer internship at the USC Viterbi School of Engineering, I translated my AI experience into making a remote-sensing tool and submitted a paper to the HiPC SRS 2023 conference, in which I presented my research and saw it published in their journal.
