• Pioneered a biometric cyber security research project focusing on iris recognition technology with the use of color contacts• Accurately proved that the iris recognition technology could not recognize the left iris from right iris with colored contacts• Continued research into fall working with now collaborating with graduate student working with facial recognition and improving the artificial intelligence detection accuracy

• Collaborated with head software engineer as a key member of the team to work on post-flight data processing of areal drone copters• Developed program using python that efficiently sifted through all flight data and resulted in graphs determining flight accuracy• Researched and presented to all members of team Extended Kalman Filters and quaternions and how they worked plus their direct implications• Attended weekly team meetings updating and evaluating progress on program and research

•Spearheaded a new research project to measure the diffusion of nanoparticles in biological tissue using optical coherence tomography (OCT)•Worked with OCT hardware to align optics laser to reflect off several mirrors into the sample and back into original light source•Used LABView to develop a user interface to collect data using the OCT System•Analyzed data in MATLAB to determine the diffusion of the gold nanorods to aid in knowledge for additional project

• Instructed a robotics camp for students ages 9-13 over the summer• Planned logistics for daily lesson plans and activities for the camp including Lego Mindstorms as a base introduction to Robotics • Oversaw the middle school robotics camp while responsible for smooth the day to day function of camp

• Completed a project revolving around robotics using visual aid to detect objects • Used Arduino to program a mini model of a robotic arm to grab an object at a given position based on the object’s location collected from a pixy camera• Developed basic skills on Python, 555 timers, and designing flow charts to follow computer science code
