I'm Mihika, and I have over 5 years of experience solving complex algorithmic problems and developing innovative solutions. From AI to blockchain, the possibilites are endless. I seek to build things that push boundaries and improve the conditions of our world.

As a freshman at MIT, I'm on a mission to explore, experiment, and bring new ideas to life. Whether it's reinforcement learning, supply chain optimization, or cybersecurity solutions, I’m always on the lookout for challenges that combine cutting-edge technology with meaningful impact.

A quick peek into my journey of creating technology that matters:

• 🌍 Sociopolitical Risk Prediction
  As a computational finance researcher at the MITRE Corporation, I am working towards building a reinforcement learning model that can predict and quantify sociopolitical risk in 120+ nations using real-time data.

• 🛠️ Autonomous Vehicle Blockchain
  Developed a decentralized blockchain network for fully autonomous vehicles to communicate securely in real-time.

• 🏥 CT Scan Radiation Reduction
  Created a novel mathematical algorithm to minimize radiation exposure in CT scans, deployed at local hospitals.

• 🌱 Cybersecurity Solutions for Autonomous Networks
  I’m working on a platform that helps autonomous networks reduce cybersecurity threats by identifying vulnerable points and ensuring immutability.

• NeurIPS Spotlight 🌟
  Recognized as a spotlight project at NeurIPS during high school - a major milestone in my early career.

• HackMIT Blueprint - 1st Place 🏆
  Won first place overall at HackMIT Blueprint, where I built WanderWatch.

• Internships at Top Labs 🧑‍🔬
  Gained hands-on experience at Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab and MIT Lincoln Labs, applying AI and data modeling to real-world problems.
