Teaching Assistant for Professor Nitin Sampat, aiding in each core class associated with the minor. The classes being Imaging Systems, Color management and Imaging workflows. Topics in the class included introduction to imaging, color management, color science, image quality testing, and imaging pipelines. Responsible for helping to conduct lab experiments, host study sessions and help the students in any way possible. As the teaching assistant it was also my responsibility to maintain the lab, including all devices and hardware present in this image quality lab. These devices and hardware included various color instrumentation such as spectrophotometers and colorimeters, inkjet printers, various image quality test charts, OECF charts, continuous lighting equipment, camera systems, computers and computer software.

Exton, Pa, Us

Worked on a team with two other electrical engineering interns, the quality assurance department and the color science department. It was my job to be a liaison to communicate imaging ideas with the engineers to work together to develop algorithms. We developed and conducted psychophysical experiments to create these algorithms to measure perceptual noise in high speed inkjet printers. Using MATLAB we created a user friendly package that could allow engineers to use their own psychophysical data to rank image quality based on noise. We were also responsible for giving weekly presentations to the team leaders and an end of the summer presentation to all team leaders and the executives.

While working at this photography studio I was the primary retoucher. I also acted as first shooter and assistant shooter on various wedding assignments.
