Optimizing the compactness of political districts in Oklahoma
(Oklahoma State University, 2019-04-26)
This work explores a mathematical optimization model to determine the optimal political districts for a state. Originally created in 1965 by Hess et al, the model assigns each population unit (such as a county) in the state ...
Discovery and characterization of novel fungal diversity in the equine alimentary tract
(Oklahoma State University, 2021-10-09)
Fungi provide crucial ecosystem services in multiple ecosystems. Most fungi thrive as free-living organisms, but many forge symbiotic, predatory, pathogenic, and commensal relationships with algae, plants, and animals. One ...
Evaluation of lactic acid bacteria for a direct-fed-microbial against shigatoxigenic Escherichia coli in food animals
(Oklahoma State University, 2022-04-19)
Shigatoxigenic Escherichia coli (STEC) have caused numerous foodborne outbreaks and recalls, with meat products and fresh produce as implicated vehicles. Food animals, especially ruminants, are well-known reservoirs. ...
Influence of obesity on biomechanics models and simulations
(Oklahoma State University, 2021-04)
Digital Anthropometry, also known as 3D body scanning, has been making its way into biomechanical research in recent years. Biomechanical simulations of motions are commonly developed using a generic model of the human ...

Critical actors in subnational legislatures: A new frontier in women’s representation?
(Oklahoma State University, 2023-04-27)
This study examines women’s issues and critical actors in Republican-controlled and Democrat-controlled U.S. state legislatures by examining publicly available legislative data. I study individual authors as potential ...
Chlamydia trachomatis: The key to human pathogen and host interaction
(Oklahoma State University, 2019-04-26)
Chlamydia trachomatis is an obligate intracellular pathogen that is commonly sexually transmitted. While Chlamydia infections are easily treated with antibiotics, there are long-term health consequences such as pelvic ...
Visual Security and Safety (VSS)
(Oklahoma State University, 2021-10-09)
Social Media Networks (SMNs) allow users to post private visual content (images and videos) that exposes sensitive information without warning or attempting to mitigate these risks. This information can be detrimental to ...
Supporting activities of daily life for seniors via ai assistant
(Oklahoma State University, 2023-04-27)
The goal of this project was to improve human to machine communication with individuals who suffer from a decreased mental function as a result of dementia. The first step was to understand complex and fuzzy inputs made ...
Optical cavity for Raman laser
(Oklahoma State University, 2021-10-09)
Our research seeks to employ magnetic and optical fields to form complex many-body quantum states of the spins of ultra-cold neutral atoms. This summer, I worked with an optical cavity as a part Raman laser system to control ...
