About
I'm a first-year CS student at UC Riverside (GPA 3.9, Dean's List) who got obsessed with one question: how do you build AI that keeps working when the world changes under it? That question pulled me from classical ML into reinforcement learning, and eventually into the formal study of non-stationarity in sequential decision-making.
My current papers are under review with IEEE, Springer Nature, and NeurIPS targets. The work spans neural regularized learning, inventory forecasting, drug discovery, materials science, and AI-augmented mathematical discovery.
Outside of RL, I'm an undergraduate researcher under Prof. Saragadam on hyperspectral imaging (tensor decomposition vs. neural implicit modeling, 98.7% reconstruction accuracy, targeting IEEE CVPR). A concurrent project on exoplanet habitability using Bayesian MCMC on 4,510 NASA planets identified 36 PLATO mission candidates.
I founded BRIDGE at UCR — 20 undergraduates across STEM and humanities on collaborative research projects with real publication targets. Silver Medalist at the 5th International STEM Olympiad (Frankfurt, 40+ countries). Frontier AI requires people who can move fluidly between mathematical theory and deployed systems. That's the kind of researcher I'm becoming.
