Segmentation to Trezona<br />
Formation Fossils<br />

University<br />
I studied fossils from the Trezona Formation<br />
in Australia with Professor Adam Maloof. We<br />
applied computer vision techniques to segment<br />
cross-sections of these fossils with the goal<br />
of better understanding the 3D structure<br />
of these organisms. My contribution to this<br />
project involved applying these computer<br />
vision techniques to build upon significant lab<br />
work that was previously conducted by other<br />
members of the Maloof Research Group. The<br />
project enhanced my technical and interpersonal<br />
skills, which will serve me well in coursework<br />
and future research opportunities. I enjoyed the<br />
collaborative nature of research and look forward<br />
to continuing to explore research at Princeton.<br />
