Project Sites: https://v-sense.scss.tcd.ie and https://www.sauceproject.eu/Research in computer vision and graphics, including:• Creative tools for using light field data (camera arrays) in experimental video production• Calibration of light field cameras for distance estimation and 3D scene reconstruction• Simulation of novel refocus surfaces, such as tilted focal planes, with light field data

Greater Philadelphia Area

Provided in-class facilitation of student learning objectives for a variety of engineering laboratory courses:• ECE Laboratory II, III, and IV (ECE 302, 303, 304): experimental practice via semiconductor device evaluation, circuit design, and system design, with and without microcontrollers• Evaluation and Presentation of Experimental Data (ENGR 202): designing a MATLAB GUI for display of accelerometer data• Programming for Engineers (ECE 203): teaching programming basics through Java

Greater Philadelphia Area

Worked on computational imaging and electrical engineering projects, including:• Design of an attachment for a commercial plenoptic camera (relay optics, light source, optomechanics) so that it could be used for retinal imaging, in collaboration with Wills Eye Institute• Designed and constructed a multispectral plenoptic camera for multispectral light field capture• Constructed and developed computational methods for a “single pixel camera,” made up of a single MEMS scanning mirror, imaging lens, and off-the-shelf photodiode

Greater Philadelphia Area

Instructor of record for Calculus I, II, and Practicums (MATH 498/ENGR 180/MATH 113)• Responsible for content curation, administration, and facilitation of a group-based problem-solving calculus workshop, a course supplementing the core freshman calculus sequence.• Conducted research into viability of peer-assessment for determining participation grades in a small-group, problem-solving setting.

Greater Philadelphia Area

• Collaborated with Philadelphia high school teachers to design educational modules for use in their classrooms, with the goal of increasing understanding of engineering practice and STEM disciplines • Presented modules to high school students and assisted in classroom activities.• Conducted research into students’ perceptions of themselves as engineers and engineering, in general, through a “green” design project.

Teddington, Uk

• Performed research into terahertz-time domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) as a tool for obtaining detailed rotational spectra of molecular gases• Designed and installed a pressure system and gas cell for use in a terahertz time-domain spectrometer• Designed experiments and performed measurements to obtain spectra of CO and N2O at various pressures in order to find line strengths and self-broadening parameters of the gases’ pure rotational transitions

Atlanta, Ga

• Upgraded a photographic evidence program that facilitates communication between police speed measurement lasers and cameras for accurate violation evidence recording• Received and shipped speed and distance measurement lasers, performing intake damage documentation and outgoing calibration checks• Performed QA on parts received from OEM• Machined corrections to faulty parts using a drill press
