Pandemic prediction using metapopulation SIR + graph convolutional neural networks
Developed a reproduction number based framework for understandable prediction of pandemic progression. This research employs metapopulation SIR modeling coupled with Graph Convolutional Neural Networks to provide interpretable forecasts of disease spread. Published in SIURO.

JavaScript 3D rasterizer
A complete 3D rendering engine developed from scratch using pure JavaScript, with no external libraries or frameworks. Created during my freshman year of high school, this project demonstrates fundamental computer graphics principles including rasterization, perspective projection, and real-time rendering.
