Parth Raghav

Hi, I'm Parth. I'm a rising sophomore at Reed College, pursuing Math-CS dual degree. I have a background in Machine Learning, Distributed Systems and Computer Vision. I am passionate about writing pieces of software and building fun apps that scale well and address the demographic's need. This summer, I founded my startup WooWho -- an app under the same name to help Alzheimer's patients recognize their loved ones through speech and face recognition. In high school, I developed CrowdCross -- a distributed p2p diagnosis system for NSCLC -- in 2017, Project Atom -- a blockchain based decentralized medical data sharing platform -- in 2016, PAERS -- A traffic data aggregator to help paramedics find the shortest route to the hospital that will take the least time to reach -- in 2015 (back when Google had no traffic API), ULTRON -- Self Assembling Robots Voxel Simulator for MIT's M-Blocks -- in 2014. Last year, I developed a Hum 110 Triggers platform that allows student taking the mandatory humanities course to report triggering content in the textbooks. The most fun part of the project was developing an ADT that allowed merge operation on multiple entries so as to reduce the number of database read and write heads. Before that, I interned in Stanford's Bioinformatics department under Dr. Batzoglou -- where I explored data from Lung Cancer Datasets and read extensively on Multimodal Learning, participated in a research study conducted by Michelle Simpson at Indiana University. I conducted trials for CrowdCross under Prasanna Banavara at Intel Mentorship Camp, worked on deep filter extraction under Dr. Dorrian Birraux at Wolfram Summer School, worked on one-shot Handwriting recognition under Dr. Stephen Wolfram, modeled an auto-associative network using 2D Ising models. This was part of my work at HSSIMI research school where I explored computation using DNA strands under the supervision of Dr. Emil Kolev and Konstantin. Some of the small projects I have made include an online SQL IDE for my CompSci class back in 2015, a web/native app for the Student Body's election campaigns, funding polls, et cetera. I began programming by making websites, and I still continue to freelance in full stack web design on the side to support my little projects and myself. I have been incredibly fortunate to have my work recognized at international platforms including Intel International Engineering Fair, CERN Beamline, Google Global Science Fair, CBSE National Science Exhibitions, IRIS National Fair, Conrad Innovation Competition et cetera. My project CrowdCross was awarded by Association of Computing Machinery (ACM), King Abdul-Aziz & his Companions Foundation for Giftedness and Creativity (MAWHIBA).
