Binit!
As part of Columbia’s urban works design challenge, I teamed up with four friends to develop an automated trash can. Using computer vision through the Google Cloud Vision API, as well as sensor technology, we are developing a trash reciptical which is able to segregate recyclables and non-recyclables on its own. After presenting the idea to Columbia professors, we were selected as finalists in this competition. We are going to be attending a trip to India in January 2019 to conduct market research and further customer discovery. Stay tuned for more updates!

Analysis of Influenza A Proton Kinetics through Mathematical/Biochemical Modelling
In high school, I did research on the infection pathway of the Influenza A virus. I developed a mathematical model of how influenza enters the cell using R and Excel. I co-authored a research paper regarding the work I did, and am in the process of getting it published.
Mining Novel RNA Sequences -- An Effort to Further Map the Human Transcriptome
After being accepted into the Rockefeller Summer Science Research Program, I worked in the Tuschl Lab of RNA molecular biology on a project called Anvesana. We were building a database of RNA transcripts to help better understand the human transcriptome. Over the summer of my Junior year, I worked on creating a user interface for this database that allows easy and efficient access to the data. Over the next year, I helped develop a protocol for mining datasets of RNA sequencing experiments for novel, alternatively spliced, RNA transcripts. I presented my work to other Rockefeller University Professors, as well as at the St. Luke's School scholars symposium. See below for a video of my presentation!
