Team Acelot
Sponsor: Acelot
Team: Vincent Zhu, Bryan Huang, Kevin Deng, James Fu, George Nebieridze
Mentor(s):
Lewis Whitehead, Kevin Burk
Project Overview: In our capstone project we will be working on a drug discovery algorithm that calculates the location and velocity of atoms. The current code base runs a single thread of a CPU and our job is to optimize the code by creating a thread secure algorithm that will run on a 9000 core GPU.

Avalution
Sponsor: Ava Labs
Team: Adyah Rastogi, Wesley Truong, Justin Lang, Hao Lee, Jiahua Ren
Mentor(s):
Aaron Buchwald
Project Overview: Our project seeks to enhance the underlying architecture of the Avalanche blockchain by optimizing how key-value pairs of Merkle trees are stored directly on disk, moving beyond conventional database solutions like LMDB, LevelDB, and RocksDB. By developing and refining critical components such as the disk manager, free list, and revision manager, we aim to streamline the storage of recent Merkleized blockchain states, significantly reducing overhead and improving efficiency in state management.
