Research

Two papers in progress, not a reading list.

I am a fourth-year student writing my first two papers: agentic control of Unreal Engine 5, and privacy-preserving gunshot detection on edge devices. This page tracks only what is actually being written.

First paper · writing2026

Driving Unreal Engine 5 through the Model Context Protocol

In progress. Protocol design for safe tool calls into a running editor, latency measurements, and how an agent can act without corrupting engine state.

Privacy-preserving gunshot detection on edge devices

In progress. A 1D/2D CNN pipeline for the Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense that classifies gunshots on-device, so raw audio never leaves the hardware.
