I'm passionate about AI, astrophysics research, and entrepreneurship.
Hi everyone! My name is Suhaan Khan and I am an incoming freshman at UIUC I am interested in AI and astrophysics research, love playing the clarinet, and enjoy reading books and playing Cricket in my free time! I am almost always interested in working on research projects or startupso so contact me if you want to work together on a new idea.
Education
McNeil High School • Class of 2025
GPA: 3.9 Unweighted • 5.5/6.0 Weighted
Developed an ML model that detects microlensing events 10x faster with 97% accuracy. Used 600,000 stars from The Zwicky Transient Facility to train AI models for dark matter detection. Achieved 3rd place at Texas Science & Engineering Fair (out of 20,000+ entries) and 2nd place at Texas Junior Academy of Science. Research paper in progress.
Achieved 3rd place out of 20,000+ entries at TXSEF for dark matter detection research using AI-enhanced microlensing. Developed ML model with 97% accuracy that detects microlensing events 10x faster than traditional methods. Research paper in progress.
Conducted research on $2000 grant at Southern Methodist University with graduate students on BOSS Algorithm and its capabilities in enhancing machine learning techniques. Presented findings to SMU professors and graduate students.
Pioneered novel AI model for exoplanet detection using Python, Convolutional Neural Networks, and KNN algorithms. Presented findings to 100+ researchers in virtual conference. Also developed AI model for breast cancer cell detection.
I'm an incoming freshman at UIUC passionate about AI, ML, and astrophysics research. I enjoy exploring how machine learning can help solve complex problems in astronomy and physics, and I'm always excited to learn from others in the field.
Always excited to collaborate on research projects, internships, and entrepreneurship ideas. I love learning from others and working together to solve interesting problems. Feel free to reach out if you'd like to work on something together.
