Research
In Action
Research is about pushing the boundaries of what we know. A look at the questions I’m exploring to better understand the intelligent systems and natural models shaping our future.
EXP × LLM
AI × Clinical Psychology
In ProgressWorking alongside Brian Yim, we're investigating whether large language models — Claude, GPT-4o, Gemini, LLaMA, and Gemma — can reliably score psychotherapy transcripts using the Experiencing Scale, a measure of how deeply patients engage with their own emotions during therapy. The goal is to evaluate how AI ratings compare to those of trained human experts, with findings intended for peer-reviewed publication.
Origin of Electron Transfer Proteins
AI × Computational Biology
Starting Fall 2026Under Dr. Brian Stockman's mentorship, I'll be part of a team investigating how the first electron transfer proteins may have emerged at the origin of life — specifically, whether small peptides built from only the 10 amino acids available before the genetic code existed could fold into functional structures capable of transferring electrons. My focus sits at the intersection of AI and computational biology.
ODEs for Real-World Change
Applied Mathematics
Starting Fall 2026Selected by Professor Morales to join her research team, where we'll apply Ordinary Differential Equations to a real-world situation aimed at generating positive change. I'm still learning the full details of this project — as soon as I do, I'll share everything here.
This Is Just
the Beginning
As these projects develop, I'll share findings, insights, and everything I learn along the way. If you're working on something similar or want to collaborate, I'd love to hear from you.
