Machine Learning / Deep Learning
Webcam Eye Tracker
An end-to-end deep-learning method to predict real-time eye gaze locations. Unlike commercial eye trackers that rely on infrared, this method uses only a regular webcam.
Skills: Python, PyTorch, computer vision
Game Review Aggregation
ETL pipeline to collect game reviews (web scraping, APIs), and transform / store them for analysis. Fed into a machine learning pipeline for clustering and aspect-based sentiment analysis.
Skills: Python, Docker, Kafka, natural language processing
Data Analysis and Statistics
Smartphone Gait Measurement
Developed novel smartphone-based method to measure outdoor gait kinematics. Used multilevel modelling to analyze multidimensional sensor and image data.
Skills: Python, SQL, R, Java, signal processing
Loot Box Reward Distribution
Used statistics and hypothesis testing to answer a common question in the gaming community: do different methods of opening loot boxes lead to a different distribution of rewards?
Skills: Python, statistics, probability
HoloLens: Learning in Mixed Reality
Designed experiments, collected data, and performed statistics to understand how users learn brain anatomy and move around in mixed reality environments.
Skills: Python, R, HoloLens, sensor / event logging
Dual Eye Tracking
Developed technique to perform live eye tracking on 2 subjects simultaneously. Analysis consisted of various auto-correlation and cross-correlation methods.
Skills: Python, correlational analysis, eye tracking
Data Visualization
RoK Commander Pairings
Created force-directed graphs to illustrate ideal pairings of Rise of Kingdoms game characters. The visualization provides insight into how to optimize team composition.
Skills: JavaScript, D3.js, visualization
Overwatch Performance
Analyzed and visualized trends in personal Overwatch skill rating over time. Breakdowns by game mode and map type help to identify factors that affect performance.
Skills: Python, matplotlib, Pandas, regression
Applications and Tools
Cognitive Battery
Developed a modular data collection platform to gather experiment data for various Cognitive Science computer tasks. This application was created to save time during my PhD research.
Skills: Python, data collection
sensormotion
Developed open-source Python package to aid the analysis of sensor-based motion data. Includes algorithms for peak detection and extraction of various gait metrics.
Skills: Python, NumPy, signal processing
RoK Talents
Developed a web application that allows Rise of Kingdoms players to design and customize character talent builds. Builds can also be linked and shared with other players.
Skills: JavaScript, ReactJS, HTML, CSS
Colour Blind Simulator
Internal research tool for simulating colour blindness in video games. Real-time simulation allows for quick identification of accessibility issues in games research.
Skills: C#, OpenCV, image processing
