Talks and presentations
I'm passionate about public speaking and making complex ideas accessible. Through presentations at academic conferences, entrepreneuship showcases, and research symposiums, I've developed expertise in communicating technical findings as well as business ideas to audiences ranging from domain experts to general audiences over the past few years.
April 01, 2024
Entrepreneurship Showcase, Cornell Tech Entrepreneurship Showcase, New York City Metropolitan Area
Presented InkSight AI, an AI-driven accessible note-taking platform for STEM students with disabilities, at the 2024 Cornell Tech Entrepreneurship Showcase. The presentation highlighted how InkSight uses AI to improve lecture accessibility for blind/low-vision, hard-of-hearing, and neurodivergent learners; market opportunities, and more. I also connected with investors and industry executives at the event for fundraising.

Research Presentation, Joint Mathematics Meeting (JMM), San Francisco, California
Presented research on formulating and deriving new parabolic partial differential equations using stochastic differential equations, replicating portfolio theory, and risk-neutral pricing to model time-varying volatility, equity premium, and interest rates in a complete market. Implemented finite difference schemes in MATLAB for European and barrier option pricing.
August 20, 2023
Conference Talk, Young Mathematicians Conference (YMC), Columbus, Ohio
Presented research on stochastic partial differential equations for option pricing. Selected from 250+ applicants and 60+ presenters for this recognition.
July 28, 2023
Research Presentation, Consortium of Summer Undergraduate Research Experiences (CSURE), Columbus, Ohio
Presented summer research on stochastic partial differential equations and numerical methods for option pricing. Discussed the implementation of finite difference schemes (Forward Euler, Backward Euler, Crank-Nicolson) and their application to pricing European and barrier options.
April 15, 2023
Conference Talk, Rochester Symposium for Physics Students (RSPS), Rochester, New York
Presented research on detecting and classifying solar flares in high-resolution solar spectra using supervised machine learning techniques. Discussed the development of a full data pipeline including PCA dimensionality reduction and SVC model optimization.
March 15, 2023
Symposium Talk, Cornell University Exoplanet Symposium, Ithaca, New York
Presented research on supervised machine learning methods for detecting and classifying solar flares, with implications for exoplanet research and stellar contamination modeling.
January 20, 2023
Conference Presentation, Conferences for Undergraduate Women in Physics (CUWiP), Ithaca, New York
Presented early research findings on machine learning approaches for solar flare detection and classification in high-resolution spectra at Cornell’s CUWiP conference.
August 20, 2022
Research Symposium, Nexus Research Scholars Symposium, Ithaca, New York
Presented summer research findings from the Nexus Research Scholars program on using supervised machine learning to detect and classify solar flares in HARPS-N spectra. This work was conducted under the supervision of Prof. Ray Jayawardhana and Dr. Laura Flagg.
