Projects
Building a Machine Learning Model to Interpret Virtual X-ray Diffraction Patterns (Senior Design)
Our team built an end-to-end pipeline that runs the lab’s Fortran binning and LAMMPS XRD on UConn’s HPC, ingests the outputs, and predicts phase fractions. We focused on preprocessing automation, dataset assembly/QC, and model development (SVR, CNN, & Random Forest). The tuned SVR (RBF) achieved R² = 0.998, turning a manual, expert-only review into a fast, repeatable workflow that held up across temperature test sets.
The Eye Opener
Built and maintain a live website for a local comic shop, along with an internal tool for managing subscribers and weekly pull lists.
Created mobile-friendly staff workflows for adding subscribers, tracking titles, and exporting list data used in daily shop operations.
File-2-PDF Converter
Convert different types of files to PDF without needing to use online services or paying for software. All conversions happen directly on your computer - your files are never uploaded to any servers or shared with anyone.
