Created a web-based data collection tool, using Flask, for a dissertation project assessing the language skills of Spanish-English bilingual students. The assessment involved audio playback and recording using browser media APIs.
Project Portfolio
Software
Developed a website, using Flask, for an online course educating parents about technology, 90 Days of Summer. The website was localized in English and Spanish.
Created a website, using Flask, which automatically summarizes text for thousands of users per month, Text Compactor.
Developed a commercial web application, using Django, which allowed teachers to easily create accessible web pages with multiple difficulty levels, Jen: The Tiered Web Page Generator. The generated pages included text resizing, color theme, text to speech, and translation controls for students to personalize their learning experience. WYSIWYG text editing was provided for users using CKEditor.
Mechanical Engineering
Created a LabView program that used data from two accelerometers and a force transducer to measure impact energy for an automated endurance testing apparatus.
Worked as part of a 4 person team to automate the 2-dimensional movement of an apparatus used for nano-particle deposition research.
Performed finite element analysis of the deformation of a mold used for composites research using the ANSYS software package. Based on the results, proposed design modifications to reduce the deformation by a factor of 4.
Compared experimental strain gauge measurements, finite element analysis, and manual stress riser calculations.
Wrote a program, using Python and NumPy, to estimate the concentrations of pollutants such as nitric oxide in engine exhaust for various combinations of fuels and air-fuel ratios.
