Research Experience
- Graduate Intern at Cadence Design Systems in Summer 2019. I implemented an algorithm that does circuit simulation in parallel with respect to time in Python. We estimated to obtain significant speed up, ranging from 2 to 6 times as fast for some systems.
- Research assistant under the supervision of Dr. Serkan Gugercin during Summer 2016, Spring 2017, Summer 2017, and Spring 2018. During this time I worked on time-limited model reduction of linear dynamical systems.
- Participated in the Industrial Mathematics Modeling Workshop by SAMSI in July 2018. I was part of a group that solved a problem in laser deflectometry which was presented by researchers at Sandia National Lab. Our group came up with data-driven as well as physical solutions for the problem.
