Dexter Allen is an Applied and Computational Mathematics major interested in data analytics and artificial intelligence. Dexter is pursuing A minor in statistics and a course load that broadens his skill set within computer science and data engineering. Dexter has been involved in multiple campus organizations, joining the fraternity Pi Kappa Phi, the Salsa Dance Team, and the National Society of Black Engineers.Dexter is currently a Student Assistant at the San Jose State Virtual Reality Lab. Dexter is working on motion capture using AI and the Noitem VPS System. He has won a grant to create a mixed-media dance performance and plans to use the motion capture systems to animate dancers' movements. Dexter is also president of the San Jose State AR/VR Club at San Jose State. As president, Dexter oversees an executive board where his team has quintupled the club membership, hosted VR Socials and developed the XR Project Program. This program has produced VR games and Haptic wearables. Dexter was previously employed as a research intern at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory. Among other things, this laboratory shoots electrons at 99% the speed of light down a three-mile long linear accelerator. Using PyTorch, Tkinter, and other Python libraries, Dexter developed a machine-learning model to decrease the time it takes to steer the beam in the LTU section. After presenting his findings and recommendations to scientists on the LCLS team, Dexter won second place out of his intern cohort for best poster presentation and most impactful intern project.Currently, Dexter is seeking to broaden his horizons within the neuroscience field. Dexter plans to pursue a Neuroscience PhD, and use his applied math and programming knowledge to create models of the human brain.
