Problem solving with focused determination and the work ethic to power through the toughest assignments, I seek to do any job that is given to me with the necessary drive to do it right.

WORK EXPERIENCE

Spring 2024

Undergraduate Researcher at Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Cambridge, MA

 

I am working under Principle Research Scientist Brian Anthony at MIT to develop a computer vision system for use in tracking people and objects. I work with other people in our group towards developing a wide range of biomechanical medical devices. My work has involved designing mechanical mounts for sensors and programing the computer vision system for the camera.

 

My goal is to apply this system to the track and field events of hammer and discus to track the release velocity of thrown implements. This will provide an easy way to test the system in a rugged environment and quickly work out any kinks in the system. My knowledge of hammer and discus will allow me to easily identify any problems that may arise.
