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.

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.

Using flat-panel speaker technology, our group seeks to address these problems by designing a low cost and lightweight alternative, that provides the same dynamic tone loved by all, with scalable power to fit all needs.

An exhibit for the Rochester Museum and Science Center that aims to expose the viewers to the concept of vibrations in an engaging and interactive manner.

Gas-powered automobiles negatively impact the earth because of pollution that is exhausted from their engines. This project implements a cheap, efficient, and electric-powered cart design to raise awareness on the power of efficient electric vehicles.

Investigation and analysis of creating mirror fields to deflect the primary electron beam with charged materials. Electron mirrors produce a fisheye view of the interior of the SEM sample chamber.

Improving closed-loop wavefront correction speed for primate retinal imaging.

Probability distributions of work and entropy of a qubit engine powered by simultaneous weak quantum measurements.

In this thesis, we numerically and analytically analyzed the superposition of multiple paraxial plane waves and discovered the pattern of such superpositions composing FP fields.

Improving silicon photomultiplier bandwidth for fast, low-signal applications.

Determining where best to locate estimate phase screens when correcting volume turbulence through post-processing

Two-Color Nonlocal Aberration Cancellation is one of the many exciting applications of quantum entanglement. In this experiment we create position-momentum entangled photons via SPDC.

We designed an optical system for a NASA ROSES proposal. The system would be housed within a CubeSat and study Zodiacal light.

The simulation will model the output characteristics as light travels through the fiber, giving a rare look at a otherwise inaccessible areas of the fiber.

Our goal is to use existing tools and our optical knowledge to build a simulation tool that carries out a rigorous optical analysis and simulates the imaging of a satellite at a range of distances, attitudes, and illumination angles.

Have you heard of an AR coating without actually coating any materials while working for a wide bandwidth from UV to IR? That is the nanostructure coating.

We designed an interactive and educational imaging system. The guest will be able to project an image onto a screen.
