Team: Undergraduate Students

Meet the Undergraduate Students

Undergraduate
Dmitri Demler
University of California San Diego
Interest areas: I am developing an automated pipeline that selects optimal neural network architectures for physics applications based on specific computational and performance requirements.
Undergraduate
Ravi Kumar
Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay
Interest areas: I am working on Simulation Based Inference (SBI) for Parameter Estimation (PE) of Gravitational Waves (GW) generated from binary coalesces of compact objects (Black Holes, Neutron Stars).
Undergraduate
Andrew Lange
University of Minnesota
Interest areas: I am researching binary black hole mergers with the ML4GW team.
Undergraduate
Jinglin Li
University of Minnesota
Interest areas: I work as an open-source software developer for Skyportal, a platform designed to facilitate real-time data analysis of transient astronomical events.
Undergraduate
Donovan Clay
University of Washington
Interest areas: I am working on the HLS4ML team at UW. We research implementing neural networks in hardware on FPGAs. The inference speed of models in hardware is significantly faster than software.
Affiliated Undergraduate Student
Michael Hemmett
Westmont College
Interest areas: My current research focuses on high energy physics through my involvement with the ATLAS experiment at CERN.
Undergraduate
Cristina Andrade
Minnesota Institute for Astrophysics
Interest areas: My primary research project focused on optimizing the Vera C. Rubin Observatory's kilonova detection capabilities by analyzing LSST cadences and filter selections.
Affiliated Undergraduate Student
Mariel Peczak
Carnegie Mellon University
Interest areas: I am currently working to improve data reduction in the Compact Muon Solenoid online data filter system through the application of machine learning to optimize data compression through the use of conditional autoencoder algorithms.
