Experience

Human Experience Research Lab, Research Assistant

Gainesville, FL May 2019 - Present

I am currently participating in research at the University of Florida under Dr. Juan Gilbert. Dr. Juan E. Gilbert is the Andrew Banks Family Preeminence Endowed Professor and Chair of the Computer & Information Science & Engineering Department at the University of Florida where he leads the Human-Experience Research Lab.
I have contributed to a project that aims to use AR/VR to improve the experience of those completing physical therapy. My contribution was computational: I helped to analyze the data by detecting patterns in the data utilizing data organization, normalization, and T-testing.
The project I am in charge of concerns analyzing DeepFakes. My focus is on understanding the consumer’s perception of fake forms of visual media and identifying the factors that contribute to an individual thinking something that is fake is actually real. I have created a user study to determine the rate of detection of altered media as well as which forms of information the consumer trusts.

GE Aviation, Engineering Intern

Cincinnati, OH May 2018 – August 2018

While an intern in the Military division of GE Aviation, I was able to perform high volume pricing analysis to optimize profit margins and locate payment errors. In addition, I was able to reduce project turnaround time by 50% by streamlining company-wide project requests.
