STA of COMP2501 - Introduction to Data Science and Engineering

- Built a multi-layer AI deep research agent integrating Ollama and Together AI backends, with a Chrome extension for browser-assisted web retrieval, automated query decomposition, and multi-source synthesis - Designed a source validation pipeline integrating real-time web scraping and cross-referencing to flag hallucinations and cite primary sources in generated outputs - Applied activation steering to control character traits in LLMs by extracting persona vectors from Qwen2.5-7B-Instruct, then fine-tuned the model using LoRA (rank 32) with both inference- time and training-time steering to suppress misaligned behaviours across multiple trait categories

Research project on exploring how Artificial Intelligence is re-shaping and transforming the learning experiences of students
