My research projects, in the order they started.
I study how groups of robots work together without a leader. I work as a research assistant at George Mason, and this is the longest-running of the research projects shown here.
The work spans swarm robotics, neuromorphic computing (computing modeled on how brains process information) and decentralized systems, which have no central controller.
With a collaborator, I studied whether changes across CT scans, three-dimensional X-ray images, help predict lung-cancer stage, how far the cancer has spread. For 236 National Lung Screening Trial participants, the three-scan model did slightly better than the one-scan model.

It is not the percentage of correct predictions.
I wrote two Python workflows to measure droplets moving through a system at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). One reads absorbance, how much light the droplets absorb. The other reads camera images. I spent the summer writing both and making the image analysis match the existing MATLAB version, written in another programming language.
The two versions drew the same curves but reported different droplet lengths. I presented the work through the Summer High School Internship Program (SHIP), with mentoring from the center’s researchers.
