Work

With Dr. Qiong Zhang, I primarily work to leverage Cognitive Models to improve understanding of Human Memory in cognitive tasks such as free recall.

I design and develop computational models for Human Memory performing recall tasks.
I design and conduct online experiments to collect human data for the free recall task.
I use statistical tools to perform hypothesis testing and analyze data.
I gained experience with: Human Memory Research, Computational Models for Cognitive Science, Statistical Analysis, and Web Development.

During the summer of 2022, I served as TA for the course: Introduction to Computer Science.

I designed problems and quizzes about programming in JAVA and conducted recitations where I explained these with concepts taught in lectures.
I conducted office hours to help students understand programming concepts and Java language.
I developed solutions to programming assignments and grade responses accordingly.
Through this experience, I learned about: Graphics in JAVA, Teaching, and Communicating effectively.

I worked under the guidance of Dr. Sunita Barve to use NLP-based techniques to improve content based literature recommendations.

I performed an extensive literature survey to understand current approaches to content-based recommendations.
I designed and developed a novel Topic modeling based content recommendation approach for literature recommendation that outperformed previous techniques by 30%.
I used this approach to develop a Scientific paper recommendation and presented our work at an IEEE conference (8 Citations).
I gained experience with: Content-based recommendation, Latent Dirichlet Allocation, Machine Learning, Academic Writing, Web Crawling, etc.

Worked on using Blockchain as backbone to develop attendance management system.

Co-operated to design and develop functional desktop application for attendance management system that made overall process 4x faster compared to traditional approach.
Prepared the back-end of the system that stored each attendance record obtained from front-end processes on a Blockchain server.
