Research

LLM Virtual Patients

Designed and evaluated LLM-based virtual-patient simulations at ASDRP. Presented at the 2025 IEEE ISEC at Princeton.

2024 – 2025
Digital Logic

Traffic Light State Machine

Designed a finite state machine to run a traffic light sequence, from state diagram to simplified next-state logic to a working circuit.

Apr – May 2026
PCB · Hardware

Seven-Segment Counter PCB

Designed a 0 to 9 counter, laid out the board in Fusion, then etched, masked, drilled, and hand-soldered it.
