Projects

These are some projects I've worked on outside Startups, VC, and Writing

Peer-Reviewed Research: The Independent Glass Science Research I did in High School 

First author paper summarizing my research. “Fragility and molar volumes of non-stoichiometric chalcogenides — the crucial role of melt/glass homogenization” Physica Status Solidi B.

“Evidence for Self-Organization in Lithium and Sodium Borate Glasses” James C. Phillips Honorary Symposium–Glass and Optical Materials

“Observation of Topological Phases in Chalcogenide Glasses, Superstrong Character of Melts, Delayed

Homogenization and Eutectic” XXIV International Materials Research Congress Boson Mode, Dimensional Crossover, Medium Range Structure and Intermediate Phase in Lithium-and Sodium-Borate Glasses (helped doctorate student with his dissertation)


Engineering–Robotics + AI + Computer Vision + Mechatronics + General Software–Projects (Github here). 

Computer Vision Absolute Depth Detection of K-Objects using A Single Monocular Image: A machine learning based approach using CNNs to detect the absolute depth of objects with in a single monocular still image

Soldering Robot: Robot automatically does trajectory planning, feeds wire in front of rod, and solders to a pin on a perfboard.

Pill Finder: Computer Vision edge matching product tells you which pill you have upon taking a picture.

Sunrise Light: CNC Milled IoT product (Particle microprocessor) that integrates with iOS app and wakes you up with sunrise light.

Optical Flow: Computer vision facial tracking using optical flow algorithm.

Robotics: Forward Kinematics, Inverse Kinematics, Trajectory Planning using Rapidly Exploring Random Trees, Trajectory Planning using Potential Field Planner, and Haptics

Mechatronics (firmware for Teensy and ESP-8266 Microprocessors): MOBA Robot, RC controlled car, Waldo Master-Slave Robot

Computer Vision + Computational Photography: Canny Edge Detection, Image Blending, Image Morphing, Seam Carving, Image Convolution

Short Term Product and Past Business Projects 

VenetianCoffees.com: A startup I built and launched in a day that allows users to mix and match Keruig K-cups and have them delivered to their door each month.

Tutorosity: a platform that matches people who need a “5 minute tutor” to answer a question with experts in that area (i.e., in the same building).


High School Science Projects: 

Self Healing Concrete (Published in Ohio Journal of Science)

The Cost-Effectiveness and Efficiency of Incandescent, LED, and CFL bulbs

The Effect of Phosphates and Nitrates on Organic Life

The Wizard of Menlo Park: A research paper about Thomas Edison
