ResearchExperience

• Spring 2018
  Plane Symmetry Recognition Through Convolutional Neural Network
  Mathematics Department, Sophomore Scholars, Dartmouth College
  
  - Designed algorithm to generate random symmetry patterns and applied Fourier transformation on symmetry
  
  - Implemented and trained Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) using Mathematica to identify plane symmetry
  
  - Accomplished 98.6% accuracy for six different patterns using training data of size 18,000
  
  
• Fall 2017
  Unfolding Polyhedra
  Mathematics Department, Dartmouth College
  
  - Analyzed whether certain types of polyhedra could be unfolded, with or without cuts, and the relationship between the identity of a polyhedron and the piece into which it is unfolded
  
  - Applied star unfolding on convex polyhedra
  
  - Made original proofs for the edge-unfolding property of domes and prismoids
  
  
• Winter 2016 and Spring 2017
  Geological and Mathematical Insights on Earth System Climate Sensitivity
  Earth Sciences Department, WISP, Dartmouth College
  
  - Translated GEOCARBSULF model into Matlab and applied variance reduction on proxy data of past 500 million years
  
  - Made original alternations and visualized CO2 variance of different percentiles and calculated optimal climate sensitivity
  
  - Compared influence and assess geological reasoning of different levels of plant-assisted chemical weathering factors (ACT, FERT, LIFE, and GYM) on CO2 rate
  
  - Presented in 2017 Wetterhahn Science Symposium
