Created complex STEM questions for biology, chemistry, and physics using broad responses generated by multiple LLMs. Reviewed outputs for errors and improved the quality of LLM-generated responses.

Designed complex prompts across modern and classical biology domains and supported response improvement. Evaluated outputs from multiple LLMs and iteratively improved them to reduce errors.
