I am working under Dr. Sharif Mohammad Shahnewaz Ferdous’ research in which we are trying to use EEG scans to understand what patterns in the brain indicate cybersickness and see how specific cybersickness mitigation strategies affect those brain patterns.
For this mentored research at TCNJ I am trying to find out how camera-based motion capture and Virtual Reality can be used for sports training purposes. The goal is to see if this method of training can properly teach users without a personal coach and increase sports training accessibility.
During my Internship at Verizon, I got to work with the Emerging Technologies team. Over my 10 weeks, I ported a VR game to their new AR device. By doing this project I learned how to use Snapdragon Spaces and MRTK3 in the Unity Engine. I also wrote a report on the viability of porting similar content.
I had the opportunity to present my paper at CHI 2023 at the “Towards an Inclusive and Accessible Metaverse” workshop. The paper I wrote wrote with along with Dr. Sharif Mohammad Shahnewaz Ferdous, and Alex Quezada is called “Children in virtual reality deserves more attention”. This paper is a literary review in which we read 191 articles that involved children using virtual reality to see how they measured and prevented cybersickness. Our results showed only 11 studies had a proper questionnaire for children.

If a person has a specific ache or pain they can click on the body part to watch a video that shows stretches that can relieve the pain. We also implemented a Twillio API to text the user the stretches to their phone. We won the categories: Best Healthcare Hack, Most Creative Use of Twilio, and Best Use of Microsoft Cloud.

I am porting and remastering a map from the game Garry's mod to S&box. I’m converting the map from the Source Engine to the Source 2 Engine and updating the map with new textures and implementing VR support.

Our goal was to have the app create a deck that had the highest odds to beat a deck given to it. Our code takes in data from the Clash Royale API. It then uses machine learning to create a model based on almost 400,000 games to figure out which cards counter other ones.

This allows a user to visualize how a stock’s growth compares to the overall market’s growth, industry growth, or a competitor’s growth.
