The places I have been and the moments that shaped how I research.

June 17, 2026, virtual presentation

PANDA at the ASCE International Conference on Computing in Civil Engineering

I presented PANDA virtually during i3CE 2026, hosted at Songdo Convensia in Songdo, Incheon, South Korea. The presentation demonstrated how a lightweight forecasting model and a Cesium digital twin can turn limited parking data into multi-horizon occupancy and turnover predictions that operators can inspect spatially.

OmniRestore at the IEEE/CVF Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition Workshops

I presented OmniRestore, coauthored with Prof. Diksha Shukla, at the Colorado Convention Center during the conference held June 3 to 7, 2026. The work introduces a lightweight, weather-aware framework for restoring visual information degraded by rain, snow, fog, low light, and composite conditions. Presenting it at CVPR brought this research into conversation with the international computer vision community and marked an important expansion of my work into robust autonomous perception.

Facilitating a University of Wyoming community conversation on digital twins

I facilitated the School of Computing's Digital Twins Computing Meet Up at Altitude Chophouse and presented a battery-management digital twin case study. Six lightning talks brought complementary views of digital twins into one room.
