I'm a Ph.D. candidate in Electrical Engineering at Michigan Technological University, where I blend optics, machine learning, and image processing to tackle real-world challenges.
My research is all about pushing boundaries—developing innovative optical methods and deep learning solutions to reduce atmospheric distortions, and even using a custom-built Moiré apparatus to safely detect seismic activity in hazardous environments.
