AFRL/RYDHDeveloped simple Arduino scripts for testing a new method of non-intrusive software analysis in which a physical connection to a running device is not needed to reverse engineer code structureDeveloped an object detection and tracking algorithm, capable of running on a Raspberry Pi, tracking with sub-inch accuracy at a framerate of over 30 FPSCreated an interface between MATLAB and Python, allowing for existing MATLAB code and future developers to utilize aforementioned object tracking system

Fairborn, Ohio, United States

AFRL/RXCMSelf-taught Python and OpenCV, implemented a program for analyzing microscope images of metal alloy slices to provide rapid evaluation of manufacturing techniquesExisting methods were expensive and took up to 2 weeks per sample. Microscope image analysis code ran in at most 20 minutes, drastically saving time required to asses new alloys
