Generative-agent urban simulation
LLM-driven pedestrians in Da’an District, Taipei. I built the social gate, byte-identical replay, fork-and-compare and the verification gates.

BIO LAB
Peptide self-assembly from sequence
Three ML pipelines. Best cross-validated AUC 0.996. Oversampling ran before the split, so I read it as an upper bound.

OBSERVATORY
Follow-up photometry on TOI 5147.01
Observed at the GMU Observatory and reduced the frames in AstroImageJ. Calibrated light curves, and the nearby-eclipsing-binary checks came back clean.

WORKSHOP
Wirtz pump: 170.7 cm lift
Derived the pressure stack across the coils, built two pumps, and pushed water to 170.7 cm. The model’s upper bound, 379 cm, held for every run. The rest of the workshop: VEX robots, a Monte Carlo model, side builds.
