Other research
In my time at UCSD my research has included topics such as machine learning, atmospheric modeling, power systems modeling, optimization, microgrid design, and control (amongst other topics).
As a side project, I have also developed a proprietary tool which is used to estimate landscaping pricing. The webapp can be viewed here.
