About

I am currently in my final year of my undergraduate studies in Computer Science at the University of Calgary.

I had a Visiting Research Intern position at Stanford University for the summer of 2020, but it was cancelled due to COVID-19. However, the position will commence in the summer of 2021 given the COVID-19 regulations at Stanford ease up. Before that, I was a Visiting Researcher Intern at the University of Southern California, Visiting Researcher Intern at the University of British Columbia, a Software Engineer Intern at Lockheed Martin and a Software Developer Intern at The City of Calgary.

Here is my CV for a more informative description of everything I have done so far (last updated Feburary 1, 2021)

A common issue in augmented reality is drifting. Drifting is when a user controlling the augmented reality technology begins to move around and objects in the augmented reality space begin to displace from their initial position. This was a solution I implemented to reduce drifting.

A robot which follows a path created in augmented reality as well as a rotation set in augmented reality!

By telling the robot arm to "come here", the robot arm goes to the user wearing the HoloLens! (Assuming the user wearing the HoloLens is within the robot arm's maximum length)
