Education

Old Dominion University, USA (Jan 2019 - Present)
Ph.D. - Computer Science

I study and collaborate on research involving Eye-Tracking, Human-Computer Interaction, Data Science, Information Retrieval, and Machine Learning. I use eye-tracking data to build machine learning models to predict a diagnosis of neuro-developmental conditions like ADHD. As my dissertation project, I am developing RAEMAP, a pipeline to analyze gaze measures in real-time.

GPA - 4.0.
