I am currently a high school student enrolled at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville and the founder of Qardian Labs. We develop innovative artificial intelligence-based software solutions for evaluating heart disease risk. Our software uses deep neural networks to achieve 99 percent accuracy on test data.
I am a 2018 First Place winner in
medicine at Intel ISEF for my research using machine learning to improve heart disease diagnosis. As an aspiring computer scientist, I have pursued projects on algorithms for genomic analysis as well as machine learning. I am a 2017 first place winner in the international Project Paradigm Challenge and was a finalist for the Discovery Education/3M Young Scientist Challenge. I was recognized by Business Insider as one of "15 Young Prodigies Who Are Already Changing the World," and my work has been featured in US News and World Report and The Telegraph (UK). Community activism is also important to me, as I have founded Teen Vote, a nonprofit dedicated to lowering the voting age and promoting civics education, started a local chapter of Project CS Girls to teach middle and high school girls computer science, as well as volunteered teaching science and engineering to elementary students.
