Hey, I'm Parth, a student at UMD studying CS. I've been interested in AI since 9th grade and won the Grand Prize ($10,000) at the Massachusetts Science Fair with an AI research project in high school. I've also done AI research at Carnegie Mellon and interned at Sanofi (F500 Pharma Company) twice. Over the last year, I've personally mentored over 25 students to do their first science fair project, with many winning awards at the regional and state levels.
