Work and Research Experiences

5/2021 - 8/2023: Undergraduate Research Assistant
- University of Wisconsin-Madison
- Helped in developing custom eye tracking system and analyzing eye tracking data for nonhuman primates based on Pupil Lab’s wearable eye tracker. Conducted research sessions involving a visual search task with autistic kids, built the pipeline to pre-process and filter eye tracking data, and analyzed eye tracking data.
- Supervisor: Prof. Ari Rosenberg
5/2021 - 8/2023: Undergraduate Research Assistant
- University of Wisconsin-Madison
- Implemented the Sequential Multistate Multivariate Vector Autoregressive (SM-MVAR) clustering algorithm, a k-mean-like algorithm where the likelihood measure is the “distance metric,” and MVAR model estimation is the “center re-estimation.” Used SM-MVAR to study consciousness of human brain using brain electrophysiological data during sleep and anesthesia.
