Research Description<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

My research, which is on probabilistic circuit simulation, demonstrated that PRA models spanning millions of events can be quantified on consumer GPUs in a matter of seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Background<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

During the summer of 2021, as part of my Masters thesis, I interned at Idaho National Laboratory (INL)<\/a>, working on Autonomous Control System<\/a> reliability for fission batteries<\/a>. Before joining this program, I worked as a research engineer at The B. John Garrick Institute for the Risk Sciences, UCLA<\/a> on a collaborative project with NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL)<\/a>. During that time, I had served as the software development lead for implementing a suite of PRA tools for the aerospace, nuclear, and power industries. Before that, I worked on numerous machine learning projects in the healthcare<\/a>, bioinformatics<\/a>, and embedded systems<\/a> domains.<\/p>\n

I have contributed to the OpenPRA Initiative<\/a> in the past.<\/p><\/p>\n\n\n\n
