• Worked in the Izatt Lab under the guidance of Prof. Hafeez Dhalla
• Contributed to design and manufacture of an optical coherence tomography (OCT) system mounted on a UR3 robot capable of automatically aligning to patients’ pupils for rapid triage of ocular injuries
• Designed a rapid scanning optical delay line in Zemax to improve OCT group delay and response time
• Assessed the failure modes of the scan head with FEA simulations and waterjet carbon fiber parts
• Trained and… Show more Worked in the Izatt Lab under the guidance of Prof. Hafeez Dhalla
• Trained and optimized a custom dlib shape predictor to detect the location of patients’ eyes, which alongside a pretrained CafeeDNN frontal face detector was capable of tracking patients’ eyes while they were wearing.

Developed machine learning models to detect regions of interest on documents in order to verifythe identity and validity of the documents.Used random forest regression to analyze 10,000 data points of US CENSUS employee data to identify factors that would reduce the time taken during fingerprinting appointment.Created wireframes and user stories for app.

BoodleAI uses AI to connect organizations to the people who have a passion for their causes, products, and services. I developed random forest and polynomial regression models to predict missing values for attributes in adata set of 10k data points with fill rates of less than 50% and statistically analyzed the accuracy of each.

Utilized knowledge of the engineering design process and prototyping strategies to assist teams in creating solutions to real-world projects.Instructed students on how to use a variety of prototyping strategies including: machining, laser cutting, CAD software, circuitry, and powered tools.Independently managed a design space, while providing feedback on.

Used machine learning to analyze US CENSUS employee data to reduce time takes during fingerprinting appointmentsDeveloped an iOS application in Xcode for a client to allow their employees to easily access various company databasesWorked as a business analyst to create state-diagrams, workflows, wire frames, and user stories for web applications and mobile.

College Park, Maryland

I worked in the MEMS and Microfluidics lab and developed a vision processing system in Python to automate the formation and manipulation of nanoliter droplets in a microfluidic trap array with a Raspberry Pi and OpenCV.

College Park, Maryland

I developed MATLAB and Creo Parametric models of tissue temperature change around the urethra and in the prostate to target cancer cells and eradicate them with minimal damage to healthy cells.
