(2017)According to insurance and risk management firm Acrisure, there are more than 40,000 health-related software apps for smartphones with currently only 0.01% of the world’s population using them. This demonstrates an untapped ... -
Data Compression and Machine Learning in the Analysis of the Entropy of Photodissociation in Organic Donor-Acceptor Interfaces
(2018)Organic photovoltaics have become increasingly relevant in recent years, resulting in a growing demand for theoretical models that can accurately approximate the behavior of electrons in organic donor-acceptor inter- faces. ... -
Data Structure and Management Summer Internship at the Smithsonian Gardens 2017
(2017)I am minoring in Business Administration, and the Gardens needed an Administrative Intern. After the infamous Women’s March in D.C., many of the exhibits were damaged/ruined. The Gardens were and are still collecting ... -
Data-Driven Parameter Selection in Radiation Therapy Treatment Planning
(2017)Intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) is one of the most common therapies for prostate cancer. IMRT’s goal is to kill the tumor while sparing nearby healthy organs (bladder, rectum and femoral heads). Multiple ... -
Data-Morphic Analyzing Approach for Understanding a Tennis Racket: Comparison of Tennis Rackets in UH Tennis Club
(2017)The shapes in the beginner group are relatively moderate than other groups. Some similar shapes are found in the intermediate group while extremely sharp shapes appear in the advanced group. I believe the reason that ... -
