June 2022 - Present

The Human Computer Integration Lab is an engineering lab run by Professor Pedro Lopes based in the University of Chicago's Department of Computer Science. This lab focuses on integrating technology with the human body. Typically, the lab works on creating new wearable and haptic devices, often with virtual/augmented reality applications. 

What do I do?

As a computer science and mathematics double major, I contribute to this lab primarily by writing software and handling algorithmic reasoning for our projects. Some work that I do includes creating demos and simulations in virtual reality, programming logic for hardware devices, creating communication protocols between hardware devices and computer applications, designing software for user studies, running user studies, analyzing data from user studies, and creating helpful software application tools for internal use.

Research Projects

Note: I do not own any of the code written for these projects, so I cannot post anything publicly on the internet and I am limited in what I can share. If you would like to see some of my code for any of these projects, please email me at jserf02@gmail.com and I can send small snapshots of what I've worked on.
