Portfolio
Scrapp - Waste Classifier
- Developed an app to classify waste and eliminate confusion when disposing of items
- The user uploads an image, receives guidance on how to dispose of it, find disposal locations near them for certain items (ex. batteries, plastic bags), and chat with other community members
- Created using Next.js and a custom-trained YOLO (You Only Look Once) object detection model to provide guidance and an appealing user experience
- The app is mobile friendly (and can be viewed on screens of any size)
Independent Research Project
Classifying Marine Mammals using Convolutional Neural Networks
Authored under the mentorship of Arpit Jasapara of UCLA (a PhD Candidate), and discusses an EfficientNetB5 + ArcFace ensemble as well as several other models. These models were then used to classify individual whales and dolphins in the Happywhale dataset on Kaggle and achieved a rank in the top 11%. An ensemble of models presented in the manuscript ranked in the top 5% out of 5 thousand teams on Kaggle. After undergoing a 3-month peer review proccess, the manuscript has been published in the National High School Journal of Science.
