NASPyTorchCNNsOptimization

EMBEDDED COMPUTE

↗

Custom SIMD Inference Engine for Resource-Constrained Hardware

Reducing ML latency and memory use by treating inference as a data-movement and microkernel problem, not just a model problem.

SIMDC/C++InferencePerformance

AUTONOMY RESEARCH

↗

Safe Multi-UAV Coordination with Deep Reinforcement Learning

Doctoral research on decentralized multi-agent coordination under partial observability and explicit safety / temporal-spatial constraints.
