I am a master's student in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Lehigh University. I am studying AI agents, agent harnesses, and reinforcement learning, with a focus on how these systems are built and used.
Lehigh University Expected graduation: May 2027
01
Independent study
Agent harnesses
Exploring workflow orchestration, task state, and evidence tracking through a personal research harness and literature-retrieval examples.
Reinforcement learning
Studying reinforcement learning fundamentals and reward-driven sequential decision-making.
02
Projects
Four-bit absolute comparator
Designed and optimized a four-bit absolute comparator, from Boolean logic to circuit-level performance. Verified functionality in MATLAB and explored the trade-off between energy consumption and delay.
