Although my current focus is working in industry, I thoroughly enjoyed my time working in academia. During my time at Mississippi State University, I primarily worked as a member of The Social, Therapeutic, and Robotic Systems Lab, or STaRS Lab for short. STaRS Lab is a multidisciplinary lab that researches the connections and interactions between humans and robots. While in STaRS Lab, I contributed to a few projects, but most of my time was spent on a therapeutic dog named Therabot.

I also had a student worker position at the Center for Advanced Vehicular Systems (CAVS) where I worked on a project that integrated the Robotic Operating System (ROS) with the Autonomous Navigation Virtual Environment Laboratory (ANVEL) simulation environment. Throughout the project, I worked in a few different facets including networking, interface, and standard back-end coding.

Below are all of the academic publications I am directly credited in. The main contributions I made to these papers was writing the code for the back-end programs as well as writing portions of the paper itself.
