When Students Chat: Router-Based Detection of Unauthorized LLM Usage

December 2025
CS 7457 — Computer Networks, University of Virginia

Final report detailing our flowlet-based fingerprinting pipeline for spotting ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude queries on encrypted eduroam routers without decrypting payloads. We captured over 2.8M packets, engineered statistical features, and trained Random Forest, XGBoost, and SVM models that reached 85%–97% accuracy with high precision so administrators can confidently tie browser timestamps to network identities.

CS 6762 Final Project Report — Smartwatch Habit Detection

December 2025
CS 6762 — Signal Processing, Machine Learning & Control

Reports on a wearable sensing pipeline I built with fellow UVA Students to encourage better brushing habits. Using integrated smartwatch accelerometer data, sequential feature selection, and a J48 decision tree ported to cascading if-else logic on an Asus ZenWatch, the system identifies brushing intervals with 97% accuracy and triggers positive reinforcement plus reminders.
