Nietzsche's Rebirth as Zarathustra

Based off of the work of Carl Jung and his analysis of Fredrich Nietzsche, I attempt to make sense of Nietzsche's regression to psychosis

Manifold-Slider

I trained a variational autoencoder neural network in python, then converted to tensorflow.js a python to javascript neural network converter, then built an interface and app with react.js to interact with the neural net

1D Fick Soltion for Solid State Diffusion python package

This is a Python package that I created in my free time. I saw that there was no open source python package for performing diffusion simulations with Fick's Second law of diffusion. This package could be used to model Solid state diffusion in the specified geometries.

XRD Blob Identification

This research project was on improving diffraction maxima identification in XRD data.

About Me

I am a third year PhD student at Vanderbilt University in Interdiscipinary Material Science, a multidisciplinary domain focused on material science; for me, roughly a culmination of computer science and physical materials

I am a person who enjoys setting and working toward goals that challenge me grow.

I got Undergraduate degrees in Material Science Engineering and Statistics, and minors in Computational Modeling and Computer Science. I like integrating cross-disciplinary skills to make cool stuff.

Adventures

Skills

css

This is my primary programming language. I use this to build machine learning models, scripts and packages for molecular simulations, and much more.

css

This is my go to language for performance and hardware. I have worked on projects using this language and find it the ideal choice for applications requiring top performance.

css

This is my language for anything I want people that are non-programmers to use, such as this website.
