Final Papers

Master of Engineering Thesis

This research presents the development of homo-silicus, a Python-based library for simulating economic experiments and social scenarios using AI subjects. Using the library, users can design, test, and analyze results of experiments conducted in silico.

6.835 Intelligent Multimodal User Interfaces

We built a D&D-inspired multimodal spellcasting game focused on teaching users how to perform various spells using both speech and gesture recognition, and in turn, use these spells to attack and defeat a variety of enemies.

GENED 1038 Sleep

In this paper, I explored the similarities in symptoms of sleep disorders and ADHD, as well as how they may interact with each other and contribute to the misdiagnosis of ADHD. Class taken at Harvard!

STS.030: Forensic History: Problem Solving into the Past

We move into a new house and can finally start a garden. We dig in the back yard and suddenly hit skeletons of three people! This essay discussed what we would do next. Whose bones are they? Who owns the bones? Who gets to speak for the bones?

6.08 Introduction to EECS via Interconnected Embedded Systems

Our project focused on creating a group Spotify party hosting platform where each user is allowed to add songs to a shared song queue which will be played out of an IOT-connected speaker.

6.864 Advanced Natural Language Processing

In this paper, we applied a variety of model architectures to the problems of song lyric classification and generation.

6.804 Computational Cognitive Science

Speech alternatives enable listeners to draw pragmatic inferences in language understanding. We modeled how the proportion of people who inferred directness from a verb with no lexical causative form used in the periphrastic form was greater than from a verb with a lexical causative form.

6.805 Foundations of Information Policy

Here, we discussed the ensuing harm from users’ lack of control over smart home technologies, and best practices to minimize their privacy risks. We propose and compare three recommended policies and their limitations on both commercial producers and users

6.021 Cellular Neurophysiology and Computing

In this paper, we determined the effect of external sodium conductance on the action potential, specifically focusing on the refractory period by computationally modelling the Hodgkin-Huxley Model.

Featured Projects

6.835 Final Project: Kalpana

We built a D&D-inspired multimodal spellcasting game focused on teaching users how to perform various spells using both speech and gesture recognition, and in turn, use these spells to attack and defeat a variety of enemies.

Neumorphism and Neuroscience

I combined two of my interests, cognitive science and UI/UX, to study the science behind neumorphism. Additionally, I used Origami Studio to create various UIs using the trend. I enjoyed learning and writing about the implications the style has on web accessibility.

6.805 Final Project

For our final project in 6.805 (Foundations of Information Policy), I developed a pool-based active learning algorithm to generate personalized data privacy policies. I used Adobe XD to create example UIs prototyping our recommendations.

Venmo Redesign

For one of my first UI/UX case studies, I used Figma, Origami Studio, and Canva in this redesign of Venmo. I was able to learn about basic principles in user research, creating prototypes from wireframes, and studying existing designs.

AccessiLink

AccessiLink is a tool for visually impaired people to better see all the links available on a given URL. We used Flask/Python for the backend, HTML/CSS/Javascript for the frontend, and Figma for the initial wireframes. This project won the Figma Award at hACCESS!
