Science projects

Research-focused work that sharpened my approach to data, experimentation, and careful validation. I like to bridge theory with hands-on implementations that can be tested and iterated.

Projects

Selected explorations spanning university research, collaborations, and self-driven investigations.

Computational materials modeling

University lab collaboration

Simulated crystal structures to study mechanical properties under variable conditions. Built pipelines to generate datasets, run simulations, and compare outputs with lab measurements.

Python Simulation NumPy

Climate signal analysis

Independent research

Decomposed environmental sensor data to detect seasonal trends and anomalies. Evaluated feature extraction methods to improve signal-to-noise for forecasting models.

Time series Fourier Pandas

Bio-inspired robotics notes

Personal study & prototypes

Explored control strategies inspired by muscle reflexes for small robotic platforms. Documented experiments, failure cases, and lessons for lightweight controllers.

Control Embedded Prototyping

Data quality for citizen science

Open collaboration

Built validation checklists and heuristics for crowd-sourced observations. Balanced sensitivity and precision to keep contributions usable for downstream analyses.

Data validation Evaluation APIs

What science taught me

Principles I carry into engineering work.

  • Design experiments that isolate variables and make decisions on evidence, not assumptions.
  • Stay disciplined about data quality, instrumentation, and post-mortems.
  • Communicate results clearly for both technical and non-technical collaborators.
  • Document what failed so the next iteration is faster.
