AI Yearbook Digitization - Internship
I’m working with the head of the engineering department at Charlotte Latin School to use artificial intelligence and machine learning tools to digitize all the Charlotte Latin paper year books from 1970 to 2025 and build an user-friendly search engine API. I hope our work will make school history more accessible for all. My work has required me t use many different programming tools, including coding in Python, AWS software, Landing.AI, and more.
Research Project - Optimal Transport
Summer 2025
Under the guidance of a professor at UNCC Mathematics Department, I conducted independent research on optimal transport theory (one of the hottest topics in Math in the last decade), exploring its mathematical foundations and implementing linear programming to solve mapping problems. I studied both the theoretical aspects of optimal transport and its real-world applications, including resource allocation and logistics. Ultimately I produced a comprehensive research report synthesizing my findings, examples, and problem-solving approaches. I hope to publish my research in a peer-reviewed journal in the next few years.
NC Governor’s School
Summer 2025
I was selected for a four-week summer residential program for gifted and talented high school students in North Carolina, integrating academic disciplines, the arts, and specialized courses. I concentrated on mathematical theory and its applications, focusing on an exploration of the most recent ideas and concepts in the discipline. While at Governor’s School I also had the chance to pursue interdisciplinary study in Applied Philosophy and the Social Sciences. As part of my Applied Math course, I created an AI model using machine learning and statistics to predict egg prices as a final project.
Chinese Education Company - Volunteer
Summer 2024 - May 2025
I volunteer with a Chinese education company, Bamboo English Education, ( http://www.yunzhixue.cn/index#about) to help develop code, creating an AI tool to categorize the reading difficulty levels of English articles based on the Lexile metric. This tool helps teachers efficiently find the right level of article for students in China to use when learning to read English.
Research/Camp
Cisco Certified Technician
September 2024 - December 2024
I enrolled in the Cisco cyber security and networking course outside of school to gain knowledge of cybersecurity concepts and principles. As part of the program I attended nightly classes twice a week, conducted hands-on labs with networking tools, and earned an entry-level CCST certificate by passing the final exam.
Job - Charlotte Latin IT Employee
