Technical contributions
AUSME Faculty Expertise RAG System
Python · RAG · LangGraph · Web Scraping · LLMs
A retrieval-augmented system that generates contextual summaries of faculty research papers and exposes them through a conversational interface for exploring expertise and potential collaborations.
- Designed and built a retrieval-augmented generation system generating contextual summaries of faculty research papers, enabling an interactive chatbot-like interface for exploring expertise and potential collaborations across 50+ faculty members.
- Collected and pre-processed a dataset of roughly 25,000 research papers by scraping metadata and full texts, achieving a complete retrieval pipeline processing time of 30 minutes for the entire corpus.
- Built the data ingestion and preprocessing pipeline using LangGraph, integrating document parsing, metadata structuring and embedding generation to support semantic retrieval over large-scale research collections.
- Proposed a deployment architecture allowing faculty and research groups to query publications in natural language, improving visibility of research domains and supporting interdisciplinary team formation.
DEMA — Digital Engineering Data Management Platform
React · Electron · Vite · Java · Spring Boot
A full-stack desktop application for engineering data lifecycle management, implementing the CIM4DE conceptual information model.
- Architecting a full-stack desktop application for engineering data lifecycle management using React, Electron and Vite on the frontend with Java/Spring Boot backend services.
- Implemented the complete CIM4DE (Conceptual Information Model for Digital Engineering) specification, designing data models for entity relationships, classification hierarchies and metadata schemas.
- Developed automated data-quality classification logic to identify and categorise engineering records by completeness and validation criteria.
- Collaborating on system integration with engineering workflows, enabling traceability and consistency across digital engineering processes through standardised metadata management.
Interactive Rocket Simulation for Science Education
Unity · C# · Physics Simulation
An interactive Unity simulation letting students change rocket parameters and observe the resulting flight behaviour in real time.
- Developed an interactive rocket simulation in Unity to enhance science education, enabling students to modify rocket parameters (fuel capacity, thrust) and observe real-time outcomes in a virtual environment.
- Built multi-user interaction support across PC and tablet platforms, integrating realistic physics calculations for velocity and altitude tracking while refining UI, level generation and environmental interactions.
