My Highlight Reel

A collection of projects I've worked on.

Facial Features and Computer Vision

This paper aims to extend previous research on distraction detection by analyzing which visual features contribute most to predicting awareness and fatigue. We utilized the open-source facial analysis toolkit OpenFace in order to analyze visual data of subjects at varying levels of attentiveness.

Graph Theory Optimization

The topic of signed degree sets and signed degree sequences has been studied from many directions. In this paper, we study properties needed for signed trees to have a given signed degree set.

Software Engineering

I previously worked as a full-stack developer for JCM Global, an international company that specializes in transaction technologies. As a developer, I maintained applications for gaming machine management, designed SQL schema for data access, and designed features for the company's 'Android application.

Adaptive Computing

Under the Department of Energy's SULI program, I collaborated with the Artificial Intelligence, Learning, and Intelligent Systems (ALIS) group regarding multi-fidelity optimization. I elaborated on this project in my Master's thesis, where I analyzed the effects of different sampling strategies and control schemes on multi-fidelity and single-fidelity surrogate models.

For Fun!

In my free time I enjoy art, cooking, and my dog!.
