About

Biography

I’m an 11th grader at Robbinsville High School interested in AI/ML and economics. I’m the founder of Lumin AI, a nonprofit advancing AI literacy for students, and the co-creator of Kora, an autism-support app used in therapy centers. I’m also part of the world-renowned FIRST Robotics Team 2590 (Nemesis) and serve as my school’s FBLA chapter president, where I’m involved in statewide tech leadership. I’ve earned multiple national awards across math, economics/business, and computer science, and I’m passionate about building technology that creates real-world impact.

Research

Overview

I contribute to an AI project that quantifies parent and child interaction synchrony using multimodal data, including video, audio, and pose trajectories. My work involves developing a child versus adult detection module, refining temporal buffering strategies to stabilize predictions during occlusions, and supporting the integration of these features into synchrony scoring models. I also conducted an in-depth literature review on human AI interaction in mental health contexts to inform our methodological framework and guide model design choices.
