RESEARCH EXPERIENCE

Dynamical Memory Modeling Lab September 2022 - present

• Monitoring data in psychology experiments on memory, reasoning, and decision making

• Developing experiments by creating stimuli and programming experimental tasks

• Participate and contribute to weekly lab meetings including giving a short presentation on a research article

Polymath Jr at Williams College June – August 2022 Collaborative mathematical research project for undergraduates Project title: Solving Linear Inverse Problems using SPD Projected Matrices, under the supervision of PhD candidate Aimee Maurais at MIT

• Conducted research applying projected symmetric positive definite matrices to solving linear inverse problems, which can be applied to image analysis software

• Investigated how MATLAB software, coupled with iterative regularization tools, can provide greater accuracy than standard least squares regression tools Mathematical Modeling November – December 2022

• Created a box packing algorithm with members of my team to aid the Food Bank of Western Massachusetts in their mission to provide food for underserved communities

• The algorithm focuses on optimizing the nutritional score distribution of each truck in every destination through Gourbi package on Python and linear programming LANGUAGES
