Overall Research Project Description:
Looking for students to assist us with human organ modeling using software such as AutoCAD, SolidWorks, and Blender.

Research Tasks:
1. Literature review
2. Object modeling
3. Mesh generation
4. Dataset creation

Skills that research assistant(s) may need::
Required: 
1. Modeling software experience, e.g., AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Blender and/or related software.
2. Excellent communication skills.
3. Being able to work in a team setting.
4. Microsoft Office skills.
5. Most importantly curiosity and an open mind.

Recommended (NOT required):
1. Background in human anatomy.
2. Technical Writing Skills.
3. Adobe Illustrator & Photoshop.

Mentoring Philosophy:
My philosophy is to enhance mentees' learning and comprehension as an "independent researcher". In our interdisciplinary studies, there are no textbook solutions and we figure things out using our own intuition and research capabilities. As a mentor, I will do my best to convey "why" any of what we do matters, "how" do we approach to these interdisciplinary problems and "what" are some solutions we can come up with together.
