MY RESEARCH

My work is relatively inter-disciplinary, though most of it can be categorized roughly under the umbrella of "Robotics."

One of my primary interests is real-world applications of machine learning, with a focus on situations that involve computer vision. At Stylify, I develop algorithms for learning shopping preferences from various data sources, including social media posts (images and text).

Much of my academic work has been in the area of controls. My Masters Thesis focused on designing an extremeum-seeking controller to optimize an exercise machine for maximum effort exertion by the patient. I am also interested in the control of mobile robotics that involve non-wheeled locomotion.

A couple of my most notable projects are briefly summarized below. For more info or a more detailed list of works/publications, feel free to contact me, or visit my Github page to view some of my smaller projects.

  • Our six-person interdisciplinary Engineering group developed an intelligent surveillance system (with an associated interactive police app), nicknamed Cerebro, capable of tracking criminals across cameras, for use near college campuses.

    Rethinking Campus Security

  • I am researching and developing an extremum-seeking control algorithm that will be used by a cutting-edge exercise machine that can maximize patient effort exertion in certain muscles of interest.

    Adaptive Workout Machine

    Maximizing workout potential

  • Using open-source computing, we worked on development of software to automate the subject-specific prosthetic socket design process using FEA and geometry data.

I was the student director of the Pep Band (which performs at basketball games) at Euclid High school for two years. In Marching Band, I was the Mellophone Section Leader for three years, and also wrote all of the drill for one of the field shows my senior year. I was also the principal French Horn for all four years of high school.
