My full list of publications can be found on Google Scholar. Some other fun projects:
Sparse Subspace Clustering with Missing Entries
My MS project focused on Sparse Subspace Clustering with missing entries, particularly on developing new algorithms to be able to cluster and complete high-dimensional data with missing entries. Our work was published in ICCV 2019 as Classifying and Comparing Approaches to Subspace Clustering with Missing Data.
Piano Performance
I’ve been playing the piano since I was 8 years old. I have performed in hospitals and senior homes in San Francisco and Baltimore. From 2016-2017, I studied piano performance at the Peabody Conservatory as part of my studies at Johns Hopkins.

MedHacks
I founded and led MedHacks, an international medical hackathon to promote collaboration and innovation in medicine and engineering. The first MedHacks attracted over 400 participants from 25 universities and 3 countries to hack health on Oct 2-4, 2015. Still growing, MedHacks has established itself as one of the largest and most well-known medical hackatons, formed deep relationships with industry and academia, and led to the formation of numerous venture funded startups in healthcare and biotechnology.
Hackathons
StrollSafe
Winning the Comcast EveryBlock API prize at PennApps 2016, StrollSafe is an app all about contextual maps. Strollsafe releases location-based crime reports for people out walking. Using OpenDataPhilly and EveryBlock info, the app overlays crime data onto a standard map.

Dash
Placing 3rd overall at Hophacks Spring 2015, Dash is an incentive based fitness app that allows users to competitively race their friends. Users can schedule their races within the Dash interface, which allows them to set an endpoint and the amount each competitor must wager to enter the race. It’s simple: first person to reach the end marker wins the prize. We wanted to change the way people think about fitness, and hoped Dash would provide new motivation and childlike wonder to running.
