Shoe Production Optimization Project (Operations Research),

University of Toronto            

November 2012  

                                       

• Cooperated with another team member to carry out optimization project
• Constructed a mathematical model to identify the optimal number of shoe production by using Deterministic Operational Research theories e.g. Linear and Integer programming;
• Optimized the mathematical model using Ampl, Gurobi, Java, SQL by reading the database from the given MS Access database file to and show the optimal number of shoe production.
• Collected Sensitivity Analysis Report to help make decisions for optimal shoe production

Research Assistant (under Dr. Goldie Nejat and Derek McColl) ;        

Autonomous Systems and Biomechatronics Lab (http://asblab.mie.utoronto.ca), 

University of Toronto

May 2012 – August. 2012

 

• Developed a software in using Microsoft Kinect SDK and OpenCV in Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 to complement a socially assistive robot’s ability to interact with humans
• Created a C++ program that used the Kinect camera to recognize skin and render 2D and 3D simulations on a console
• Developed a Matlab program that can perform analysis on the detected skin regions and outputs the area of a skin selection, distance of the selection from the camera, among other functions
• Collaborated on a team with engineering students from varying disciplines under a PhD student to produce a cohesive output
