PROJECTS
AI-Powered Community Insights: Integrating LLMs and Location Analytics for Solar Energy This research harnesses Large Language Models (LLMs) and computational sentiment analysis to extract actionable insights from unstructured county-level meeting transcripts, quantifying stakeholder perspectives and regulatory frameworks affecting solar PV development. The methodology combines LLM-driven text analytics with geospatial data to identify jurisdiction-specific sentiment patterns and compliance requirements, creating a multidimensional framework that optimizes site selection parameters and mitigates community opposition within the rapidly expanding solar market. AI-Driven Claims Verification System Databricks Hackathon 2025 Built an intelligent healthcare claims processing pipeline using Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) and GenAI on Databricks. Integrated structured insurance data with unstructured medical transcriptions using vector embeddings and natural language QA. Enabled real-time claim validation, fraud detection, and insights via Databricks Dashboards and Genie. Delivered a scalable, explainable solution aligned with HIPAA standards, reducing claim denials and optimizing billing accuracy. AI in the Headlines: Unveiling Media Trends and Sentiments on CNN and BBC Analyzed AI-related headlines and leads from CNN and BBC using LDA topic modeling, uncovering media trends and sentiments with detailed visualizations. The project revealed significant differences in AI portrayal, with CNN presenting AI more positively and BBC offering a broader, slightly more critical perspective. These insights underscore the importance of diverse media sources in shaping public perception and policy discussions on AI.
