Research Assistant

• Researching deep reinforcement learning agents to solve quadrilemma optimization problems for 6G cellular technologies, including Fluid Antenna, Pinching Antenna, RSMA, and NOMA.
• Developed a comprehensive ns-3 simulation environment to design, train, and evaluate RL agents for intelligent Wi-Fi 7 network optimization, enabling reproducible experimentation and performance analysis.
• Mentored and instructed lab members on designing, implementing, and executing ns-3 simulations, improving team productivity and ensuring correct, efficient use of the framework.

Data Science Intern

• Developed and fine-tuned a demographic cohort-classifying ML model with 84% precision using Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), K-means clustering, and Bidirectional LSTMs in Python (TensorFlow, scikit-learn) and R.
• Deployed AI/ML models to production with Docker, Airflow, and GitLab, automatically handling 600,000 predictions daily and increasing research and survey-sampling efficiency by 30%.
• Enhanced market-research efficiency by 50% by analyzing and validating 6,000 vendor-supplied data points with Pandas, NumPy, and Excel.
• Researched and advised on predictive models forecasting electric-vehicle adoption in Sacramento County to inform charging-infrastructure and power-grid expansion.

Research Fellow

• Extracted and constructed a dataset documenting the evolution of Marriage Bar policy at the city level in the USA from 1880 to 1940.
• Assisted a PhD researcher in collecting data from historical newspaper archives to study how gender policies affected people's lives.
