About
Computer Science PhD Candidate at UCF, advised by Dr. Joseph J. LaViola Jr., member of the ISUE Lab researching in Human Computer Interaction.
My research interests include gesture recognition 🤙 BCI 🧠input for controlling VR environments. This includes machine learning 📊, input processing (VR Controllers, IMUs, EEG), and designing virtual environments for user studies using Unity. The goal for my PhD is to contribute to research in the above areas, then to find a research position in academia or industry in the same field.
I have completed coursework in ML, CV, 3D User Interfaces, Graphics, and Neuronal Systems. You can find my final projects on my GitHub or download my resume.
