University of Rochester, Senior Design Day
This senior design-driven project creates accurate Zemax ray-tracing models of the human eye to evaluate diffractive-refractive hybrid contact lenses for correcting wavefront error and chromatic aberration. The eventual goal is to apply the technology to school-aged children to prevent the progression of myopia development.
Mission Statement The goal of our project is to create a Do-It-Yourself (DIY) telescope that provides an engaging and educational experience for kids. The telescope will come fully disassembled, empowering kids by giving them the opportunity to put it together and align it themselves. The telescope has been design with a strong emphasis on modularity […]
ML Based classification model to detect triage level for patients arriving at trauma centre, and thus allocate appropriate resources. This was achieved using patients’ data from URMC (Department of Paediatrics).
A robot which navigates between points on campus, delivering packages.
With the MVP Ring, surgeons are able to recreate a patient’s native heart valve anatomy and overall hemodynamic function leading to improved surgical outcomes.

This project uses the luminescence of the nighttime sky as a predictive features for economic activity.
This project aims to observe, visualize, and model the trends in which COVID-19 patients at the University of Medical Center were allocated ventilators. Descriptive analyses are performed to investigate the relationships between variables such as but not limited to recovery rate and length of ventilator allocation and gender, race, and age.
This project aims to build a model which detects features such as crosswalks and curb ramps at intersections in the city of Rochester.

We will experiment with various Time Series Forecasting (Index: 0 to 100) and […]
This project investigates the associations between geriatric assessment based features and relative dose intensity of chemotherapy. It is at the first few phases of Wilmot Cancer Institute’s Ger Oncology Research team at University of Rochester Medical Center. The team refined the data preprocessing pipeline, built predictive models and employed feature selection on the dataset, providing insightful suggestions for future work in cancer studies.
Cross Beam Energy Transfer (CBET) is a simulation that models how intersecting laser beams share energy.
A translation validation tool for a small compiler backend called QBE. The tool can identify invalid intermediate language transformations and optimizations.
Multithreading introduces complications around synchronizing different threads with shared memory spaces.
A buffered variant of the Pronto persistence framework that provides a 1.26x to x6.77x times performance increase with potential data loss contained within 1ms.
The Gavett Hall Recording Studio’s signature reverb is well known amongst AME students. Although this reverb is embraced by many, some wish for more control in post production. The aim of this project was to create a modular solution capable of treating the sound with the option of leaving it intact.
