I have been working on Space, Robotics, and Machine Learning for the past 6 years. I am the 2020 Global Winner of the 2020 NASA SpaceApps Covid19 Challenge for my “Masked Scales” project that used a home-made instrument to measure the impacts of COVID19 in Toronto and converted them into a musical. I won the Gold Medal at the 2020 IRIC North American Continental STEM Fair and all the 3 ribbons at the 2020 Youth Science Canada Online STEM Fair for my project on "Using Machine Learning to Remove Stellar Noise from Exoplanetary Data". I was one of the winners of the European Space Agency's Ariel Telescope Machine Learning Data Challenge and presented my project at the ARIEL: Science, Mission and Community 2020 Conference in the Netherlands. In 2014, I co-founded the HotPopRobot.com Initiative to carry out youth to youth science communication and outreach on space and carry out several free workshops and events each year.

How I Used Python and Big Data to Measure Seismic Silences during the COVID19 Lockdown?
"Lockdown' was a key tool used by governments around the world to stem the movement of people to check the spread of COVID19. I analyzed the impact of lockdown on human movements by writing Python algorithms to measure the reduction in seismic vibrations using data from seismic stations across Canada.
