What is your current research focus?:
My current research focus is in the use of artificial intelligence to create specific binaural beats. These binaural beats could be used to effect relaxation into a listener under the guise of any music of their choosing. If successful, the use of binaural beats may be able to assist with chronic or acute pain treatment.

Answer one of the following two questions about being a UROP Leader or your UROP background. : How has UROP impacted your time at FSU?
Please answer the question you selected above in the area provided.:
When I first entered UROP, I wasn't quite sure of what I had gotten myself into. I knew a little about research, but didn't possess the skills to come up with my own research project and explore that idea. With the help of my mentors and Alicia, I not only became knowledgeable about he scientific method, the process of research, and how symposiums are conducted, but I also formed connections with my research mentor, as well as others in my lab. The experience has been invaluable to the development of my public-speaking/marketing skills and has given me the confidence to pursue any research opportunity in the future.

Please list any other hobbies or interests you would like to share:
I'm currently an Emergency Medical Responder in the Medical Response Unit on campus.
