I am a Research Engineer at the University of Florida's Intelligent Clinical Care Center (IC3). My research focuses on developing AI-enabled avatar-human and avatar-scene interactions in Mixed Reality. I also work on developing explainable AI algorithms to enhance the interpretability of ML models, particularly in the healthcare field.●Developed a multiobjective optimization framework for redirecting humanoid kinematic structure motion with pose preservation between remote environments (US patent). ●Developed a mesh deformation-based method to generate locomotion trajectories of users between remote environments of any irregularly shaped topology in AR/VR (US patent). ●Developing a machine learning-based naturalistic gait locomotion for an avatar based on the given input speed.●Worked on stress detection from physiological signals using multimodal machine learning models for adaptive interventions in close loop human computer interaction (HCI) systems.●Developed accessible collaborative mixed reality (MR) interactions for older adults at long term care (LTC) settings.●Worked with an interdisciplinary team of engineers, clinicians, nurses and caregivers for developing technological interventions to mitigate loneliness in older adults.●Experienced in grant/proposal writing. Helped write a NIH and NSF proposal with my advisor, Dr. Nilanjan Sarkar, based on my dissertation topic of naturalistic interaction in collaborative mixed reality (MR) that was cumulatively funded for $2.7 million.Skillset:Programming Languages: MATLAB, Simulink, C/C++, C#, Python, PHP, Java, HTML, CSS, SQLModeling Software: SolidWorks, COMSOL Multiphysics, LabVIEWGraphical Software: Unity, Unreal, Blender, Maya, Adobe PhotoshopMachining Learning: Certified with the Deep Learning Specialization by Couresera, Tensor Flow, PyTorchYou can learn more at : https://akshith-ullal.github.io/web/.
