Investments: Transmutex (4th gen nuclear reactors) Chiral Nano (Nanotube manufacturing for semiconductors) Nūmi (Bioreactor milk synthesis)

Attempt to build communication systems using non-invasive ML brain-to-brain interfaces

Research on in-vitro neural interfacing and biocomputing

Models for visual recognition and classification Improved the object classification pipeline for visual datasets by incorporating a state-of-the-art deep learning architecture (feature extraction, multinomial logistic regression training, model fine-tuning) Contributed to building the data storage system ( API wrappers, backend maintenance) Developed an Unsupervised CNN for image clustering using self-organizing maps (hebbian learning)
