Edge Science Research ProjectUndertook applied mathematics research on formalizing the incentive misalignment problem in the scientific research community under the mentorship of Professor Jay Bhattacharya of Stanford's Economics department. Adapted stochastic multi-armed bandit theory to construct bounds on expected regret for scientists conditional on particular incentive structures (grants, scholarships, etc.)
