Calibrating Immunological Agents Undergraduate Researcher (Advisor: Dr. Ayush Chopra) Code: https://github.com/Pushkar1853/TumorEnv - Built an 8-substep tumor-immune ABM on AgentTorch, calibrating 9 rate parameters to biopsy data; fixed a non-differentiable placement bottleneck with a differentiable method, recovering gradients on 7/9 parameters - Benchmarked against a Covariance matrix adaptation evolution strategy (CMA-ES) baseline under identical settings, closing tumor-fraction error to 0.005 (vs. 0.042) using 24×fewer rollouts (10 vs. 240)
