Summer Research Intern
May 2022 – Sep 2022 Toronto, ON
  • Worked with Prof. Florian Shkurti in the Robot Vision and Learning (RVL) Lab, self-funded through an Engineering Science Research Opportunities Program (ESROP) Award.
  • Developed a novel CNN-based deep learning architecture for one-shot exemplar-based visual search from image and LiDAR data using PyTorch and OpenCV. Experimentally evaluated performance on the KITTI autonomous driving dataset, outperforming state-of-the-art methods.
 
 
 
 
 
Toronto Rehabilitation Institute - University of Toronto
Summer Research Intern
May 2021 – Aug 2021 Toronto, ON
  • Worked with Prof. Alex Mihailidis and Dr. Aaron Yurkewich in the Intelligent Assistive Technology and Systems Lab on the Hand Extension Robot Orthosis (HERO) Glove.
  • Implemented a self-contained gesture recognition algorithm that leveraged support vector machines to learn and detect patients’ specified hand and arm movements from onboard accelerometer data to actuate the glove, using Python and C++.
  • Designed and developed motion capture software using a PCB with a microcontroller and accelerometer, using C++.
  • Assisted in developing a control algorithm using electromyography data which significantly improved hand function during clinical trials.
