Research & Projects Timeline
01

Junior Research Fellow & Contributor

MARIN Community · Percy Liang, Stanford · 2026 — Present

  • Member and contributor at the MARIN Community founded by Percy Liang at Stanford
  • Collaborating with researchers on frontier AI research, benchmarking, and evaluation
  • Contributing to open discussions on model safety, capability assessment, and AI progress
02

Computational Geometry — A* vs Dijkstra

Independent Research · 2026

  • Benchmarked Dijkstra vs. A* on a 302,066-node graph of Lucknow's road network (4,132 km²)
  • Built a high-performance C++17 pipeline using Libosmium to parse OpenStreetMap PBF data
  • A* achieved a mean search-space reduction of 78.13% (p < 0.0001) across 1,000 randomised trials
03

AquaNeuron — Graphene Oxide Aptamer Nanosensor Array with Edge AI

Stockholm Junior Water Prize India · w/ Raghav Khandelia, Aroush Muglikar, Shreyas Roy · 2026

  • Designed a theoretical three-channel rGO-aptamer chip for simultaneous detection of arsenic, fluoride, and lead in rural Indian groundwater
  • Authored the Python simulation engine: adsorption isotherms, EIS, Monte Carlo LOD propagation, Random Forest classifier
  • RF classifier achieved 97.3% accuracy (AUC > 0.999); open-source at github.com/prateektiwariii/AquaNeuron
04

OmniSprint — Physics Standard for Elite Sprinting Normalisation

Independent Research · 2026

  • Built a C++ engine normalising Olympic sprint times (100m, 200m, 400m) for wind, altitude, temperature, humidity, lane curvature, and track surface
  • Proposed Physics Adjusted Time (PAT) as a supplementary metric for World Athletics
  • Discovered the Jacobs-Lyles Paradox: Jacobs' Tokyo gold represents superior mechanical output despite a slower raw time
