&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Time:&lt;/strong&gt; Jul 2025&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Note:&lt;/strong&gt; Main practical assignment for the NUS SoC Summer Workshop Program.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Applied transfer learning on YOLOv7 for multi-object detection: trash (paper and bottles), cigarettes, violent behavior, and human falls.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Built a crane-style structure with servo-controlled grabbing arms and launching mechanism on a robot car.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Integrated Arduino and Raspberry Pi for hardware control.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h2 id="real-time-facial-emotion-analysis-system-on-jetson-nano"&gt;Real-time Facial Emotion Analysis System on Jetson Nano
&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Time:&lt;/strong&gt; Dec 2025&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Note:&lt;/strong&gt; Main practical assignment for the Deep Learning course.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Fine-tuned a lightweight face detection model (CNN with RFB modules) on a custom emotion dataset.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Deployed models on the Jetson Nano edge computing platform.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h2 id="modeling-and-optimization-of-voting-mechanisms-in-dancing-with-the-stars"&gt;Modeling and Optimization of Voting Mechanisms in Dancing with the Stars
&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Time:&lt;/strong&gt; Feb 2026&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Note:&lt;/strong&gt; Achievement of 2026 MCM.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Addressed voting controversies using Bayesian inverse estimation, counterfactual simulations, and XGBoost with the CPISeq framework.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Proposed a Four-Strike Rank Fusion voting rule for fairness in high-conflict scenarios.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h2 id="pipelined-risc-v-cpu-design-and-implementation-based-on-verilog"&gt;Pipelined RISC-V CPU Design and Implementation Based on Verilog
&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Time:&lt;/strong&gt; May 2025&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Note:&lt;/strong&gt; Main practical assignment for the Computer Organization course.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Implemented a five-stage pipelined CPU (RISC-V 32I) on the EGO1 FPGA board.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Added UART communication, branch prediction, and a Python GUI for real-time register and pipeline visualization.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h2 id="performance-comparison-and-evaluation-of-opengauss-vs-postgresql"&gt;Performance Comparison and Evaluation of openGauss vs. PostgreSQL

&lt;strong&gt;Note:&lt;/strong&gt; Main practical assignment for the Principles of Database Systems (H) course.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Compared openGauss and PostgreSQL via pgbench across query performance, concurrency, connection efficiency, import speed, resource utilization, and security.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;h2 id="java-swing-based-match-3-puzzle-game"&gt;Java Swing-Based Match-3 Puzzle Game
&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Time:&lt;/strong&gt; Dec 2023&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Note:&lt;/strong&gt; Main practical assignment for the Introduction to Computer Programming A (H) course.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Designed and implemented a Match-3 game with multi-level progression, score and move limits, and both manual and auto-play modes.&lt;/li&gt;
