Supervised CS Senior Design group (Spring 2023)

Graduate course, University of Florida, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Banks Lab, 2023

I once again supervised a group of undergraduate computer science students in their senior design project. I led 9 students between 2 teams to create a more robust code base for our lab’s AI work. More specifically, we implemented a PyTorch Lightning-based framework for computer vision tasks using Weights and Biases experiment tracking and a custom configuration manager.

Graduate course, University of Florida, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Banks Lab, 2022

I supervised a group of undergraduate computer science students in their senior design project. I led the 4 students in a project that used AI to create realistic images of bone X-rays. More specifically, we used Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) to reconstruct X-rays of canine legs in specific positions.

Graduate TA for Undergrad Physics

Graduate course, University of Florida, Department of Physics, 2021

I served as a graduate teaching assistant for Physics 2 without Calc Lab. I as responsible for over 80 students in this online course. I graded the students’ assignments every eek and held office hours. The course hands-on assignments that covered electric and magnetic field visualization, circuit creation, electrostatic repulsion, and geometric optics.
