Research Projects

During my last year of undergrad, I was able to create and work with Melissa Vigil on a wrist injury prevention project. Out goal was to address common injuries that were noticed in Lacrosse's faceoff position.

While attending community college full time as a high school student, I had the opportunity to work with Dr. Filbin-Wong and Cesar Garcia on a blood analysis research project. We then presented out findings at the 2017 Metro State Undergraduate Research Conference.

Marquette University's athletic training department uses a class 4 near IR laser for rehab. After using a similarly graded laser for physics research, I asked my professor (Dr. Jax Sanders) about the difference in safety protocols. This led to us co authoring a paper aiming to promote a safer environment in training facilities.

Through a National Science Foundation Grant, I worked with Dr. Paul Laris and Scott Winslow from California State University Long Beach. We spent 4 weeks camping in the Sierra Nevada mountain range using Drones (sUAS's) to take spectral data of a California Riparian Zone. That was then used with a Supervised Classification system I built to differentiate plant species.

During my sophomore year, I traveled to Bahia Ballena-Uvita, Costa Rica and worked on a Geographic Information Systems project for 2 weeks with professor and mentor Amy Work.
