CUDA INFLUENZA SIMULATION MODEL

An agent-based influenza viral model that examines the effects of cellular
regeneration on viral transmission between cells. This model was developed for
research I conducted for over three years at TCU. It uses GPU compute with
Nvidia Cuda to accelerate the modeling of large viral simulations containing
millions of cells. I have presented my findings at the TCU Student Research
Symposium as well as the 2021 SIAM Conference on Computational Science and
Engineering. I co-authored a paper that has been published in the Journal of
Theoretical Biology.

VOXEL GRAPHICS ENGINE

For my senior capstone project, I am building a high performance voxel engine.
The goal for this engine is to enable game development in an engine that can
handle large, procedurally generated worlds with fully modifiable terrain. We
are designing the engine with performance in mind, and experimenting with
different optimization techniques so that we can display our findings to faculty
and students during the final presentation.

UTRGV MATH STUDENT REPORTING SOFTWARE

This is an application to automate grade reporting and presentation for calculus
courses at UTRGV that use a complicated and non-standard learning target based
grading system which can't be configured in Blackboard LMS. I have taken full
ownership of the project, designing and implementing the database, backend, and
frontend; I have managed project planning, development and DevOps myself from
start to completion.

NOT HOTDOG? (IMAGE CLASSIFICATION)

Is it a hot dog? This project was made during the first annual frontera hacks
hackathon. The inspiration was from the silicon valley (TV show) hot dog or not
hot dog app. We learned to never to try setting up a ML environment in 24 hours.
The app featured a very professional UI and could classify wether an image was a
Hotdog or not with approximately a 60% accuracy. I am happy with that result
given the time constraints and the fact that we had to train the model from
scratch without any prior experience.
