Selected Work
EntroPINN VC-backed startup building physics-informed neural networks for industrial process optimization. Developed scalable PINN-based heat transfer optimization frameworks for industrial processes, partnering with AI teams at AVEVA, Siemens, and others targeting the industrial digital twin market. Enabling rapid design iteration and high-fidelity process simulation with 70+ process engineers interviewed.
Paradromics Preclinical neurotechnology company developing high-bandwidth intracortical brain-computer interfaces. Built neural decoding algorithms for auditory cortex recordings on the Connexus BCI, achieving 200+ bps low-latency data transfer rate benchmarked at 20×+ the reported throughput of existing intracortical systems. Designed and tested smart-device control in 15+ successful lab experiments validating real-time BCI interaction.
Peidong Yang Group Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Funded by The Kavli Foundation, Bakar Labs, Berkeley Discovery Hub. ML-driven discovery and optimization of next-generation catalysts for CO₂ electrochemical reduction. Conduct H-cell electrolysis, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, in situ Raman spectroscopy, TEM imaging, and SECCM. Upcoming JACS publication on Cu nanograin vibrational spectroscopy.
Industry Co-op Company specializing in R&D and industrialization of engine exhaust after-treatment products. Co-developed ML-empowered multiparametric emission monitoring system for commercial diesel fleets, tracking engine torque, fuel consumption, NOx, particulate matter, and 30+ parameters to predict emissions. Deployed across 16,200+ vehicles worldwide, reducing nitrogen oxide emissions by 14% (>2,100 tons).
UN Millennium Fellowship Civic leadership program presented by the United Nations Academic Impact and Millennium Campus Network. Led 4 projects with 50+ volunteers from 6 countries to complete 750+ service hours, benefiting 500+ underprivileged families. Initiated collaborations with city governments and NGOs on social projects. Engaged in policy webinars with UN and Gates Foundation leadership.
