• Graduate Research Assistant

  • May 2019 - Present

  Working with adviser Dr. Adam Alessio to investigate methods to optimize deep convolutional neural networks for object detection, applied to detection of rib fractures in pediatric x-rays. Developed a pre-processing pipeline for curation of a private chest radiograph dataset using modules such as pydicom and python-opencv.

• Graduate Teaching Assistant

  • Aug 2018 - May 2019

  In flipped classroom environments, I provided personal and group assistance to students in the CMSE 201 - Introduction to Computational Modeling course learning how to create programs using Python. Skills such as dataset manipulation, algorithmic thinking, model building, and data visualization are all learned through various application examples. I held office hours in addition to classroom time and graded all assignments pertaining to the course.

• Mathematics Tutor

  • Jan 2016 - May 2016

  Working at the busiest center on the main campus of the largest University in the United States, I provided free one-on-one tutoring for mathematics courses. Ensuring student success in a fast-paced environment, I reinforced topics including Algebra, Trigonometry, Business Mathematics, Calculus, and Differential Equations.

• Lead STEM Tutor

  • Sep 2012 - May 2016

  As a STEM tutor, I provided free one-on-one or group tutoring for undergraduate courses, reinforcing topics such as Algebra, Trigonometry, Business Mathematics, Calculus, Java, and Physics. This involved explaining difficult concepts using scaffolding and analogy while differentiating teaching styles to fit each student. This position allowed me to work with ethnically diverse students, adult re-entry students, and veterans.

  • Jun 2015 - Aug 2015

  Selected as 1 of 36 from over 600 applicants for the Research in Industrial Projects for Students (RIPS) summer research program. During this 9 week program, students were introduced to problems in industrial mathematics. I worked in a team of four sponsored by and in direct collaboration with the Aerospace Corporation. We created orbital models of small clusters of cube satellites using physics-based MATLAB simulations to be used as reference for vehicle monitoring during Low Earth Orbit space… Show more Selected as 1 of 36 from over 600 applicants for the Research in Industrial Projects for Students (RIPS) summer research program.
