Prior Research

I worked at The Ohio State University's College of Optometry as a Research Assistant where I get to do many cool things!What I Do
Ran subjects in multiple experiments pertaining to the research projects going on at the Binocular Vision and Space Perception Laboratory, mainly pertaining to amblyopia. Operated lab equipment (measuring eye accommodation, glasses prescription) and software (MATLAB, Photoshop, Retinal Imaging Software), while keeping up with the information needed to understand how and why the research is being conducted. Input and evaluated data between medical databases of certain patients of the lab.My favorite task: Designed illusory targets for the newest experiments we were trying to do.

Hobbies

Powerlifting
Powerlifting is judged based on 3 main lifts that use a barbell weighing 45 lbs: Squat, bench, and deadlift. These lifts are then calculated into a total of the heaviest 1 repetition maximum lifted for each of the lifts.
For example, someone squats 200, benches 150, and deadlifts 250. Their total will be 600 and that is the number they get judged on. There are other methods people get judged on, such as a "Wilks Number" or "DOTS" which weighs your total towards your weight class.
***Latest Lifts & Personal Records *** (Look at barbell for total)
Squat 1x370, 320x3 SSB
Bench 1x290
_Deadlift _ 445x2Predicted Total Beltless is over 1,100Chess
Chess is ranked based on games won and lost compared to the ability of the player against other players. I believe Lichess uses an ELO rating scale which is a scale used to define a player's ability.Lichess Ranking ~ 1410Other Hobbies

More Hobbies

Art & Photography
I have been very involved in the arts since high school. I started by taking Art Foundations courses, Drawing courses, leading into International Baccalaureate Higher Level Courses leading to presenting my artwork at an exhibit at my high school in Westlake, Ohio. This leads me to keep my interest in art by creating more art pieces independently through the digital medium, as well as visiting museums. On the right, I am pictured at the Carnegie Museum of Art in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. In fact, I won the Commencement Week Photo Contest at The Ohio State University of Fall 2021.
