Constructed a virtual recruiter to autonomously interact with high school, middle school, and undecided college majors on topics related to computing at UNC Charlotte.
Developed a user interface for a tablet PC that would allow psychologists to run different war-time scenarios at the touch of a button. Implemented scenarios using the Gamebryo game engine, Maya, and Lua Scripting. Collaborated with artists and psychologists. Supervised by Dr. Jarrell Pair.
Performed literature search on SiC production methods. Implemented novel technique of porous Si. Experimented with ratio of porous-producing acid to compensate for lattice mismatch in Si and β-SiC. Flow-rate and temperature were varied for optimal growth of β-SiC on porous Si. Clean room, CVD, and measurement tools: FTIR, SEM, MBE, and Raman Spectrometer were utilized.
Translated and transferred mobile phone testing procedures in Excel documents to HTML sites on intranet web server. Removed ambiguity from French procedures and Proposed solutions based on phone documentation.
Researched and developed 3D ultrasound for an augmented environment. Programmed a coordinate transformation program in C that allowed the importation of 3D ultrasound models into proprietary software (VTK format) that overlaid the ultrasound models on the patient for augmented reality. Supervised by Assistant Professor Abhilash Pandya.
