Projects

·         Masters thesis topic: Assessing the quality of structured metadata. A computer program cannot automatically extract metadata for neuroanatomical images. Thus, scientists must inspect the images and author corresponding metadata, called annotations. Annotations are the only means by which image properties and features are identified for correct retrieval. Therefore, the quality of annotations is extremely important in relevant data retrieval. However, annotations may vary in quality due to incompleteness, redundancy, conflicts with other annotations, etc. I am coming up with a quality model based on formulas and heuristics that measures annotation quality, in order to facilitate the retrieval of relevant and appropriate images.

·         E-commerce airline reservation system. Group project involving extensive use of HTML and Java Servlets run on Apache Tomcat interfacing with a MySQL database. Development done on Redhat Linux 8.0.
