Reinforcement Learning (RL)
In this graduate course group project, we apply the latest in RL algorithmic techniques to solve a complex controls problem that is an extension of the classic cart pole problem.

Projects/Relevant Coursework
The following is a list of major academic projects done through coursework, compeitions, etc along with links to resources.
Graph Theory
In a series of graduate course group projects, we explored graph theory and network properties in stock market data, traffic data, social network data, and randomly generated Erdos-Renyi and Barabási–Albert networks. Properties of these networks such as vertex degrees, random walks, modularity and community structure, edge weights, and more were explored to generate real-world insights. We also utilized inverse reinforcement learning to emulate intelligent behavior for an RL agent.
Speaker Recognition
This graduate course group project was a speaker verification algorithm that utilized speech Cepstrum coefficients, Dynamic Time Warping, and Mahalanobis Distance to determine if two audio clips are from the same speaker.
Report
Autonomous Tour Guide Robot
My senior design undergraduate course project was an autonomous robot tour guide of the electrical engineering department building. We employed a full embedded system design from the PCB, sensor components, vehicle and robotic suystems, C++ coding, etc to develop the initial prototype and demo tour in one semester.
