Neuroscience and Biology Projects
Effects of Sunscreen on Sea Urchin Development
This study examined the effects of zinc oxide-containing sunscreen on the early development of Lytechinus variegatus sea urchins and found no significant developmental delays compared to a control group. While sub-lethal impacts weren't detected with current methods, future research could reveal more subtle or concentration-dependent effects relevant to marine conservation and sunscreen regulation.
Computer Science Projects
Decoding Dreams with AI - CHANGE FILE
This project analyzes dream reports from the DreamBank dataset through the lens of Jungian archetypes using keyword matching, clustering, and visualization techniques. By mapping archetypal themes like the Shadow, Hero, and Anima onto dream narratives, we uncover hidden psychological patterns and explore how AI can interpret symbolic meaning in human consciousness.
Philosophy Projects
What Does it Mean to be Human?
Living Toward Death: Embodied Freedom and the Ethics of Pain
This view defines humanity as embodied, finite, and relational. It argues that harm is inevitable, not because we are cruel, but because we are limited—and when we cause harm, we are harmed as well. Authenticity means living responsibly within this reality, acknowledging suffering without being defined by it. Drawing from existentialism, phenomenology, and cognitive science, this theory redefines freedom as situated, ethics as relational, and meaning as something made through engagement, not detachment.
