Projects

These are various projects I have worked on!

wearable ASL translator

ConchShell

ConchShell is a wearable ASL translator to help the speech-impaired communicate by converting ASL letters into a voice. I used Python, Google's open-source MediaPipe (largely in C++), and Pytorch for a neural network that was trained on 30 000 samples of training data generated by myself and ASL users I contacted. I used a Raspberry Pi Zero W and camera for testing. My friend and I raised $16 600 in funding. We completed a prototype that operated with 94% accuracy and underwent the DMZ start-up accelerator.

an LLM-powered educational chrome extension

AIstotle

At the HackPrinceton hackathon, I built a chrome extension that allows you to pause a YouTube video, ask a question, and then have the extension respond using the YouTuber's voice. It is capable of answering your question, rewinding the video to a relevant time, or recommending another video. We used GPT-4 Vision, GPT-4, ElevenLabs, and retrieval-augmented generation .

research project using statistical methods to explore contributors to patient death from disease in Hanoi

Determinants of Patient Outcomes of Blood Infections at the National Hospital of Tropical Disease

I made use of descriptive statistics and linear and logistic regressions in R to find factors (e.g. resistance to antibiotics, type of pathogen, etc…) that contribute to various patient outcomes in a 300-person patient data set at the National Hospital of Tropical Disease in Hanoi, Vietnam.

a statistical research paper exploring why allergies are becoming more common?

The Rise of Allergies: An Investigation on Why It Is Occurring and How to Stop It

I published a research paper, "The Rise of Allergies: An Investigation on Why It Is Occurring and How to Stop It" in the Vanderbilt Young Scientist Research Journal. I surveyed 150 people about their allergies and lifestyle during their gestation and childhood. I used SPSS to run linear regressions to find significant factors contributing to allergy development.

  • Multivariate Logistic Regression
a statistical research paper exploring how air pollutants impact health in different countries

An Assessment of the Significance of Various Air Pollutants on Public Health on a Global Scale

I conducted a study, "An Assessment of the Significance of Various Air Pollutants on Public Health on a Global Scale". I assessed the significance of various air pollutants on disability-adjusted life years (attributable to air pollution) and provides policy recommendations based on the economic strength of each country. I gathered data for 5 air pollutants (nitrogen dioxide, sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, methane, fluorinated gases) as well as sector-specific data for carbon dioxide from reliable sources such as the WHO and WRI.

a statistical research paper exploring predictors of opinions on euthanasia in individuals

Determinants of Views on Euthanasia in Richmond Hill, Ontario

I wrote a paper exploring factors correlating with certain opinions about euthanasia. I surveyed 72 people in Richmond Hill, Ontario, and used SPSS to run linear regressions to find significant predictors of whether someone would support or not support euthanasia. Examples of independent variables included whether one grew up in a religious family and how often they watched cable news.
