Projects
Selected builds with an emphasis on mathematical modeling, numerical methods, and how each tool is engineered end-to-end.
Aurora Borealis Shader Background
liveA realtime northern-lights background built with a GPU shader. This write-up explains the animation math in simple terms: coordinates, noise, curtain shaping, color mixing, and motion.
Spring-Pendulum Simulation
liveA coupled nonlinear dynamics model with an interactive simulator. This write-up explains the governing equations, RK4 solution flow, and implementation choices.
Pyroflue — Emission Factor Analysis
liveexternalPost-processing and visualization of flue gas emission data from pyrolysis experiments on seven waste types. This write-up explains how raw concentration measurements are converted into normalized emission factors (g/kg biochar) for cross-feedstock comparison and LCA.
Conversational RAG — Natural Language Interface
buildingexternalA retrieval-augmented generation system embedded in a private application, letting users ask questions in plain English to surface relevant building elements. This write-up explains the RAG architecture, embedding and retrieval pipeline, and what was actually hard to get right.
What each project write-up includes
- Problem framing and modeling assumptions.
- Equation derivation and solver choices.
- Implementation details across backend and frontend.
- Validation strategy and interpretation guidance.
