SENIOR CAPSTONE DESIGN PROJECT

GUI-Based Optic Disc and Cup Characterization from Fundus Images September 2016 – Present

Created a graphical user interface with adjustable parameters to characterize the optic disc and the optic cup of the human eye to aid in the detection of glaucoma and other optical diseases.

Individual responsibilities included coding to normalize each photo by making a gray scale version of it from its green channel component, coding to detect the edges of the optic cup and the optic disc using radial lines and max derivatives of light intensities, and coding to create the graphical user interface to run the detection algorithm.

COURSE PROJECTS

Adaptive Computer Simulation of the Sinoatrial Node Using Hodgkin-Huxley Model September 2015 – December 2015

Simulated the membrane potential of a rabbit sinoatrial node using the Hodgkin-Huxley squid giant axon model in Matlab to observe how the concentrations of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine impact the membrane potential.
