Hi, I'm Daniel Rhee
I am a Computer Science undergraduate student at the UC Santa Cruz (2024 - 2027). Relevant Formal Academics
I am actively seeking opportunities in research, grad school, and internships.
My primary interests are in Computer Vision and Computational Physics and Computational Biology.
You may view my full resume here, however a more comprehensive and technical description of my work is on this website (especially in the 'Read More here' portions)
Things I work on
Formula SAE where I am the driverless racing lead, primarily working with perception, mapping, and control theory but I also work vehicle dynamics simulations. Read more here
AIEA Lab where I work on robustifying autonomous vehicles and specifically work on the Waymo open dataset challenge. Read more here
SkyPi where I work on an astrophotography focused raw image capturing system for the Raspberry Pi HQ Camera as well as astrophotography image stacking and processing from the FITS format
Radio Telescope where I use an RTL SDR to attempt and track satellites
Some things I did
Linux foundation - FOCUS Project where I was an SWE intern working on validating conformance of FOCUS FinOps data outputted by all major cloud providers (AWS, GCP, Azure, etc)
Breast Cancer Tumor Segmentation and Classification winning best AI/ML award for the BioHacks 2025 hackathon and utilized a UNET for segmentation and a CNN to classify risk
EMiT Lab where I worked on automated analogue circuit design
Yellowstone Geyser Prediction where I predicted geyser eruption times using regression techniques
Code runner a web based application using a Flask backend to run code (Python, C++, Java, C) on an external server and return the output to your browser.
Fun things
I am a licensed HAM radio operator
I participated in the 2025 Putnam exam
I like speedcubing! I use ZZ (CPLS) and average ~12 seconds. I also do 2x2 and average mid/high 3s and 4x4 mid 50s.
I sometimes speed jigsaw puzzle too, and compete (but do quite poorly)
I also dance in my free time, I am the cohead of JK Family Kazoku Kajok at UCSC and choreograph and teach semi regularly
I also beekeep sometimes.
I like cooking random things, like brewing wine or making cheese
