Research Experience
Technology's Impact on Educational Inequalities
Developed an Educational Equality Index (EEI) with 21 factors. Applied OLS regression analysis, revealing technology's link to inequality.
Modeling Soccer Ball Trajectory
Used Python, Magnus effect, and hydrodynamics to model ball movement. Achieved trajectory estimations within 40 cm error in windless conditions.
Semantic Analysis of Metafiction in 'The Things They Carried'
Applied AI-based semantic analysis and sentiment analysis to explore metafiction elements in literature.
Message Context & Response Patterns
Conducted interviews (N = 12) and email experiments (N = 280). Found personality-based response patterns and improved email read rates.
