Research Experience

Deep Learning based Diffractive Optics Optimization

2023 - Present

UCLA ECE, Advisor: Aydogan Ozcan

  • Developed a diffractive surface-based pipeline for universal optical waveguide design, which can be streamed down to various tasks such as redirecting, filtering, splitting, and polarization maintaining.
  • Designed a diffractive surface system capable of selectively transmitting different classes of images based on the polarization. Bringing innovative methods for privacy protection.

Structure Health Monitoring using Diffractive Processors

2024 - Present

UCLA ECE, Advisor: Aydogan Ozcan

  • Designed a hybrid (optical plus digital) system utilizing deep learning to encode vibration spectrum of a building optically and decode by digital network, providing fast and high accuracy structure health monitoring solutions.

Transferable and Universal Adversarial Attacks on Computational Pathology Models

2024 - Present

UCLA ECE, Advisor: Aydogan Ozcan

  • Developed a novel adversarial training framework using universal adversarial perturbations (UAPs) to enhance the robustness and security of ViT-based pathology foundation models.
  • Engineered physically-realizable attacks modeling fluorescent particle placement to probe the failure modes of physics-consistency-based safety mechanisms in digital pathology.

Optical Diffusion-based Generative Models

2024 - Present

UCLA ECE, Advisor: Aydogan Ozcan

  • Involved in building an optical generative model capable of generative multiple classes of images including simple dataset to Van Gogh style artwork. The optical generative model drastically decrease the computational power required for novel image generation.
