(RV)iolin - Logistic Regression and RV Filtering for Realistic Violin Timbre FM Synthesis. CS109 Grand Prize Winner
(RV)iolin - Logistic Regression and RV Filtering for Realistic Violin Timbre FM Synthesis. CS109 Grand Prize Winner
Used logistic regression on thousands of violin sound samples and Exponential RV modeling to create a naturalistic FM violin tone synthesizer.
Won the Grand Prize for my CS109 class' Probability Challenge, which I created the project for. As the prize, my midterm and final exam grades were replaced with 100%
Mango Moon Bare Metal SBC Lunar Lander.
Mango Moon Bare Metal SBC Lunar Lander.
Lunar Lander simulator written entirely in bare metal C for Mango Pi SBC. Thrust is controlled by voice. Custom hardware + enclosure (For CS107E w/ Liam Wilbur)
I wrote all libraries (graphics pipeline, GPIO, lightweight printf, heap allocator, physics engine) in C and RISC-V ASM to run bare-metal on the Mango Pi SBC.
ANC - Anti-Noise Waveform Simulator.
ANC - Anti-Noise Waveform Simulator.
After being impressed by a demo of Apple's new AirPods 4 with ANS (and no physical seal), I became curious about the history of Active Noise Cancellation.
I built this little demo to let people explore how the parameters of the NLMS algorithm, the setup of a physical microphone array, and a listener's ear proximity affect noise cancellation.
New Functional, Smart, Sustainable, and Renewable Cellulose Materials for Soft Robotics and Bioresponsive Actuators. Kasi Group 2022
New Functional, Smart, Sustainable, and Renewable Cellulose Materials for Soft Robotics and Bioresponsive Actuators. Kasi Group 2022
Implemented Azo and Norbornene compounds in cellulose nanocrystal side-chain copolymers to induce temperature and UV-light-induced isomer shifts to be applied in renewable soft robotic materials and MEMS.

Tone Death - Sound Stem Separation and Auditory Neuroplasticity in VR.
Tone Death - Sound Stem Separation and Auditory Neuroplasticity in VR.
Worked with Brian Pham under Dr. Poppy Crum's and Eito Murakami's mentorship in MUSIC 257. Designed a VR environment to train source separation skills in the auditory cortex via sound spatialization tasks.
Motivated by Colin Cherry's Cocktail Party Problem and real-world issues of selective attentional gain and prior research in sonic object classification in the auditory cortex.

ARemember - Optimizing Unique AR VE Creation Using Physical Surroundings and Atmospheric Adjustments. UCSB SRA 2021
ARemember - Optimizing Unique AR VE Creation Using Physical Surroundings and Atmospheric Adjustments. UCSB SRA 2021
Lead Developer in a team of three. Devised and implemented C# solutions in MRTK-Unity virtual augmented reality space. Proof-of-concept included contextually-relevant atmospheric adjustments, FOV/DOF alterations, and illusory architectural changes to make a static physical environment feel novel and induce user surprisal.
Conducted user study in which 2/3 of users felt a given combination of adjustments were effective in rendering a physical space unrecognizable, whilst retaining immersion and playability. Research property of the University of California, Santa Barbara.
