Practicum Experience(s)
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (2024)
Summary of Research
I work on inverse problems and uncertainty quantification, with applications in medical and geophysical imaging. Currently, under the mentorship of Julianne Chung and Matthias Chung at Emory, I am working with autoencoder networks that can supplement traditional inverse problem techniques (in UQ and regularization, for example). More broadly in my research, and throughout my PhD, I hope to learn more methodologies of numerical linear algebra and ways that they can be applied to solve problems in engineering and sustainability.
