projects

Doodle Jump on FPGA

Developed the game “Doodle Jump” on the Altera DE-2 FPGA board as the final project for ECE 385 using System Verilog. The game used an USB mouse connection to move ‘Doodle’ and shoot enemies, and showed the gameplay with two types of monsters in a pseudo-randomly generated world on a VGA monitor.

Reddit Crawler

Developed a Reddit Bot to crawl through selected subreddits and find the frequency of selected words in the comments to create visualizations about the popularity of the words

What’s in this room?

Developed a simple program that tells you details about a class that is current being held at a room of your choice in any building at UIUC.

TuxBot

A discord bot to help host remote office hours and demos for “ECE 391 - Computer Systems Engineering” at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

Meta-path Analysis on Spatio-Temporal Graphs for Trajectory Prediction

Analyzing meta-path based features on spatio-temporal graphs combined with a structural RNN structure to predict agent trajectories in autonomous scenes. The proposed model demonstrated the usefulness of these features and achieved a performance boost of at least 32% over all baselines.

In-car Gesture Generation

On the quest to find a diverse set of (possible new) gestures for in-car gesture based communication through learning based methods and existing gesture datasets.

Human Compatible Driving

Developing policies that provide instructions to drivers in an aim to reduce traffic congestion and carbon emissions.

To Trust or Not to Trust

Analyzing and building models to measure if Autonomous cars on a road should trust the actions of other cars on the road.
