Research Intern @ 
CIRCUIT 2022 Class Picture
During the summer of my freshman year of college, I interned at Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory as a CIRCUIT intern. I worked with 2 other mechanical engineering team members on the Lunar Vertex team. As a CIRCUIT research intern, we helped develop a model that would allow for the calculation of the SNR for the onboard multispectral microscope built by Canadensys. The model contains considerations from the lunar albedo, to noise from neigboring lunar craters, to random light particles from other celestial objects. Our model successfully passed the simulation test and would be used in the 2024 Lunar Vertex Mission.
We created a GUI interface system that would allow scientists to interact and change the formula. The program could also export to csv and excel. We then created a linear regression model that shows the efficiency of the microscope under specific SNR interference.
Tools we used:
Net-Hack Hackthon
We won first place in the cyber security track for the CIRCUIT intern wide hackathon. Our project named The Locker, is a new biometrics identification system that utilizes a user's keystrokes to determine their identity. Using reinforcement learning, we were able to create a system where the user's were identified just based on the way they use the keyboard.
Keystroke biometrics accounts for various factors that could help identify a user. We used this fact to build a simple program to demonstrate that the way you type is different from another person.
CIRCUIT Project Presentation
Over the next two semesters in my sophomore year, we worked on writing an internal paper regarding our work with the RMM GUI. We also then began our calibrations testing for the magnetometer instrument onboard the rover.
