• Computer Vision Research Scholar @ Pioneer Academics
  July 2021 - September 2021

I participated in the Pioneer Research Program as a Summer 2021 Scholar in the computer science concentration "Computers That See: Exploring Computer Vision." I conducted research in deep learning for facial emotion recognition in the field of human-machine interaction through micro-expression detection. I coded using Python and OpenCV libraries to test my multi-layer network across four datasets: FER-2013, CASME-II, FERG, and SAMM. These data sets differed with regards to the type of photos of videos included, the subtlety of the expressions, and the ethnicities and attire of the subjects. Please see Projects section below for an in-depth dive into my research and my 20-page manuscript.

• AI Ambassador & Machine Learning Scholar @ Inspirit AI
