Machine learning Hit Discovery

• I developed new methods to analyze statistical properties (like correlation functions) of physical systems near a second order phase transition within the framework of quantum field theory. The work resulted in a research publication and three research seminars.

• I organize weekly seminars, have reviewed 4 papers for the journal of high energy physics and have

supervised two graduate student projects so far

• Built an end-to-end dementia detection tool which uses EEG data to detect Alzheimer's or frontotemporal dementia in patients. The achieves a 89% validation accuracy for the classification on publicly available OpenNeuro dataset for Alzheimer's vs healthy classification. Can be found on my Github (https://github.com/HimanshuKhanchandani/Dementia-Detection-Tool). Also hosted as a web-based app on Hugging Face (https://huggingface.co/spaces/HKhanchandani/Dementia_detection_tool) .

• Developed new formulations to understand boundaries and defects in quantum field theory. The work resulted in 6 peer reviewed papers in collaboration with other professors, postdocs

and graduate student peers.

• Assisted in teaching six different graduate and undergraduate courses and was awarded Princeton physics teaching award on three different occasions.

Derived new consequences of the chiral anomaly in two-dimensional conformal field theory. The work constituted part of my master's thesis.
