I designed a machine learning object recognition pipeline using Python that anaylzes key features of sorghum root cross-sections that may help distrupt Striga hermonithica from forming xylem bridges, for example, percentage of aerenchyma, concentration of fluoral yellow (indicative of suberin), and concentration of TRITC (indicative of lignin).

While working at St. Andrew's College from September 2023 - May 2024, I tutored students in all high school maths, including functions, calculus, vectors, and statistics, and data management. Previously, I tutored three highschool students in the subjects of Calculus & Vectors, Grade 11 Chemistry, and Grade 11 Physics.

This project allowed me to strengthen my skills in design/CAD,
critical thinking in the context of circuitry, and Arduino software/hardware development.
My 2B term project was a prosthetic device that used forearm EMG signals to actuate movement and twist a doorknob.
The EMG signal was collected from electrodes on the user's forearm, and was then put through a custom circuit
consisting of an instrumentation amp, bandpass filter, buffer, and integrator. It was then processed by an Arduino,
which actuated servo motion to clamp the doorknob.
The design was created in Solidworks and variables including
vertical printing, adjustability, printing time/costs, material, infill, tolerancing and anthropomorphic data were all
considered. An FEA was conducted to ensure the print would be structurally stable and functional.
This project allowed me to strengthen my skills in design/CAD, and Solidworks.
I’ve always had a fascination with military history and technological advancements, particularly with aircraft.
The evolution of fighters like the SBD Dauntless, Zeroes, or Stuka dive bombers from WW2 all the way up to our current fifth-gen fighters
like the F35 Lightning II is super interesting. With a desire to model a fighter jet, I wanted to select a lesser-known aircraft that is
still very important in today’s geopolitical atmosphere. The Dassault Rafale was manufactured by Dassault Aviation in France, and has seen
action in Afghanistan, Mali, Libya, Iraq and Syria. Being employed by countries like Egypt, Qatar, and India, these fighters play crucial roles
in the balance of power of various nations in the Middle East and south Asia.
This project allowed me to strengthen my skills in Python,
machine learning model implementation, and bio-marker/microscopy image analysis.
While working in the Brady Lab at UC Davis, I was tasked with creating this pipeline. The goal of the research is
to determine factors in sorghum roots that prevent Striga hermonithica from forming a xylem bridge post-attachment,
for example, amount of aerenchyma, suberin concentration, and lignin concentration. Gathering this information by hand from root
cross-sections I imaged with a Cytation C10 Confocal Microscope is very time-consuming, which is where the mass-throughput pipeline comes in.
I annotated hundreds of cross-sections and wrote code to train a Yolov8 model and Mask-rCNN model to
to isolate the endodermis, and from there, use mask subtraction, pixel analysis, and statistics to return quantitative information about suberin
and lignin concentration, all on Python.
This project allowed me to strengthen my skills in design/CAD,
critical thinking in the context of circuitry, and Arduino software/hardware development.
While the assignment was only for the Mealy FSM portion, I wanted to up it a notch. This "incubator" and its circuitry was
soldered, assembled, and painted by hand, and provided a nice creative outlet during my term. The Arduino operated on a 227-line program I wrote.
This was my first time using concurrent task management to keep the timing of several lights consistent in the void loop function, and used
real-time programming techniques like hardware interrupts, timer use, and event-driven programming. I heavily used functions to keep the code organized
and simplified, resulting in just 5 lines of code in the void loop function.
These projects allowed me to strengthen my skills in game development,
object-oriented programming (C#), and problem-solving within the Unity environment/Windows CMD.
For the KuriusHacks Christmas Edition Game Jam 2021, I worked with my group to create an original game in Unity with C# scripts that
included a game menu, options page with adjustable volume, player controls and movement, collision detection, character-activated movement,
and sound effects.
I also recreated the classic Space Invaders game in Unity with C# scripts. This project involved designing
and implementing gameplay mechanics, including enemy behavior, player controls, collision detection, animations, sound effects,
and scoring systems.
Lastly, I programmed the classic game Othello to run on Windows CMD using C# scripts. The game includes custom names, a custom board size,
a scoring system, and the standard game mechanics.
These projects allowed me to strengthen my skills in design/CAD, assemblies, and engineering drawings.
During my time at OES working as a Mechanical Design Associate, I designed scoreboards for a variety of sports including
football, basketball, and hockey. After creating individual sheet metal components in Inventor, I used them to create cabinets in
assemblies with other parts like wiring, power boxes, digits, fans, plates, and a variety of screws and nuts. I then assembled the
cabinets in a larger assembly with more screws, nuts, and mounting gear. All parts were mated appropriately. Following this, I created
detailed engineering drawings for each individual part for fabrication, and compiled BoMs.
I learned drums for this one! I am happy to say that I really felt this drum rhythm inside my internal clock (after practicing one bar for 30 mins haha)! I struggled quite a bit to harmonize the 0:30, I wish I was better with theory. I made this one in a few hours one night, and hope to create more jazz ones in the future.
This was my first attempt at recording the real bagpipes, my timing stayed pretty decent, and the gracenotes mostly lined up. Happy with how it turned out! This classic tune is one of my absolute favorites. Not sure how the video ended up a little out-of-sync with the audio, but we can look past that lol.
This song really puts on display my inadequate playing. I am shockingly out of tune, very out of sync with my gracenotes, and my technique needs loads of work. But this was such a fun song to play. I will need several years of practice to improve on this instrument, especially since I don't really have instruction, but I am determined.
Pretty self-explanatory. While we have never been defeated in a social rep election, Mattie and I wanted to secure our place in social rep history with the first ever BME26 campaign video. The competition was surely trembling in their boots.
Baba Yetu is one of my favorite songs. I wanted to do a trombone ensemble version of it, and this was my first unedited draft. Sadly, my computer was damaged and I lost all the original recordings as well as my edited versions, with only this uploaded video remaining.
At IMC, in a quartet, I played Now Is The Month Of Maying, as well as Scarborough Fair.
This was the hardest thing I have ever had to play on trombone for performance. I put a lot of time into practicing this one particular line, and got it right during the performance!
My favorite brass band song features an incredible run for the cornets - I played it very slowly and sped it up myself to imitate them. I cannot believe people can do this at full speed.
My largest trombone ensemble ever! Grade 11.
