  mentoring_philosophy: |
    Teamwork is an important aspect of the lab, collaboration is key. 
    A Peloton is a small group of professional bicyclists riding together. Peloton teamwork is thrilling to witness. Each rider take a turn at the front of the pack, peddling as hard as possible for as long as they can endure.  As they tire, their legs slow, the second rider in the Peloton takes lead and starts to pedal hard, taking the lead. The mass of the riders creates a wind vortex (draft), that follows the pack. As each lead cyclist runs out of energy, their retreat is to the rear,  where they can rest, pulled by the draft of the other team members, without any peddling. Each member of the team moves up the Peloton line to become the lead rider and drops back when their best effort is exhausted. 
    No matter how ambitious (or how strong) a single cyclist might be, one cyclist cannot catch or outrun a collaborative group. In the MLab, we each make a contribution to the work at hand. Sometimes we lead, other times we (the Peloton) support others as they lead. We respect collaboration and team effort.
    As a mentor: my role is to help guide your work. We learn more effectively by doing, figuring out what works; Trial and error are expected. I am always ready to guide or assist. The MLab is a safe environment in which mentees feel that is acceptable to fail and learn from their mistakes.

  overall_research_project_description: |
    The MLab research specializes in generating synthetic media. Our research has explored various ways to create ‘deep-fakes’ of objects that are hard to photograph or more often, are not sufficient in number to train a computer vision AI. We developed tools to generate the images, labeled and ready for training. This opens up a wide variety of opportunities to explore synthetic media, AI training, object, and anomaly detection.
    Should you decide to apply, and ultimately participate, the lab hosts undergraduate alumni of the lab, graduate students and professors who can assist you with your chosen project. Interested students should understand that participating in the lab means you are a self-starter who works well in small groups of like-minded students. 
    Working knowledge of Python (or other language) programming language is preferred, but we do have projects intended to get newcomers up to speed. One of the primary functions of the lab is to encourage research related to the use of Artificial Intelligence agents, and supporting students who desire to publish their works. Since the beginning of 2020, we have produced 6 student-led research papers that have been accepted by international conferences. 
    Last year we focused our efforts on a Binaural Beat Box, which we proposed to use as a Palliative care  tool. The Beat Box uses generated synthetic music,  Art, and Animation for a tablet application. 
    We are interested in coders, CS, Engineering, Statistics, and 3D artists who can model different subjects.
