Developed a comprehensive map of hundreds of wild plants on the University of Maryland campus, engaging numerous campus stakeholders and securing a UMD sustainability grant. Additionally, constructed a biogas reactor using plastic components to further support campus sustainability efforts.

Organized the first and largest competition on prompt injection. Secured $40K in sponsorship from major companies, including OpenAI, HuggingFace, and Scale. Collected and published the largest dataset of prompt injections (600K+ adversarial prompts) and developed the first taxonomical ontology of Prompt Hacking. The paper won Best Theme Paper at EMNLP2023.

Ran the largest study on prompting ever done. I lead a team of 32 researchers from U Maryland, OpenAI, Microsoft, Princeton, Stanford, and other institutions. Surveyed over 1500 papers and created a systematic literature review with comprehensive taxonomies of 100s of techniques.

Helped organize the Minecraft Deep Reinforcement Learning competition. Also ported in various functionalities from Malmo and wrote 1000+ lines of code.

I led a team of graduate and undergraduate students in a DARPA-funded multi-university project aimed at building AI bots to play the board game Diplomacy while interacting with human players. As part of this initiative, I conceptualized and pitched four unique bot designs: Janus Bot, Janus Bot [Shortened], Janus Bot [MVP], and SOA Bot. I developed continuous integration pipelines to streamline development, implementing Dockerized testing and integrating precommit checks. Additionally, I built Vercel integration for the project's documentation website. I also authored a comprehensive report on DAIDE-English translation and developed a DAIDE syntax parser package to support communication protocols between the bots and players.
