Software Engineer Intern, CIPHER Lab

Georgia Tech Research Institute (GTRI) · Threat Analysis Branch · Atlanta, GA · May 2026 - Present

Role Scope

At GTRI's CIPHER Lab, I work on machine learning and graph analytics solutions used in cybersecurity and intelligence analysis workflows. My focus is on building practical systems that can process noisy, large-scale data and deliver analyst-ready insights.

Core Contributions

• ML Pipeline Development: Implementing research-oriented ML pipelines to evaluate model behavior and extract high-value patterns from unstructured datasets.
• NLP for Threat Context: Applying NLP techniques to structure and summarize text-heavy sources for downstream analysis.
• Graph Systems: Building graph analytics components and dashboard workflows that operate on vertex/edge structures to surface relationships and anomalies.
• Research Collaboration: Iterating with researchers and engineers on experiments, model assumptions, and system-level tradeoffs.

What I'm Learning

This role has strengthened my ability to bridge research and production constraints: balancing experimental agility with reproducibility, throughput, and actionable outputs for real-world mission contexts.
