	Image Colorizer for Archaeological Images from CIELAB to RGB color space Anusha Fatima Alam, Marwan Ismail, Mateusz Kazimierczak, Sebastian Pigeon APS360 - Applied Fundamentals of Deep Learning, Winter 2024 Final Report \| YouTube Video \| Developed a Deep-Convolutional Generative Adversarial Network (DC-GAN) using Pytorch to colorize black and white archaeological images (taken from the "a_amphitheatre" category of the MIT Places 365 Dataset) from a CIELAB to an RGB color space.
	Multiprobe Sensor for improving Soil Testing of Patchouli Plant in Indonesia Anusha Fatima Alam, Harry Nguyen, Jason Yang, Kate Dong, Meredith Gladish, Marcus Hong ESC204 - Praxis III, Winter 2024 Visual Abstract: Preliminary Design, Ultimate Design \| Design Debrief Presentation Programmed an IoT/Mechatronics device to prototype a Multiprobe Sensor using a Raspberry Pico Microcontroller to operate the GPS module and LED Matrix and an Arduino Uno to operate an LCD alphanumeric display to output the moisture, NPK and pH readings.
	Reusable Water Ice Tray for Water Sampling Alec Yu, Anusha Fatima Alam, Simona Tenche, Osiris Xiao ESC102 - Praxis II, Winter 2023 Showcase One-Pager, Poster Designed a reusable water ice tray (made from biodegradable PLA thermoplastic) to improve the sustainability of Swim Drink Fish's sampling and testing procedures by minimizing the amount of single-use plastic waste produced by their current apparatus (whirl packs).
	Seam Carving Anusha Fatima Alam ESC190 - Computer Algorithms and Data Structures, Winter 2023 Code: seamcarving.h, seamcarving.c, c_img.c, c_img.h Implemented a content-aware image resizing algorithm in C to remove the least important image seams while preserving important features by computing the dual-gradient energy and recovering seam paths.
	Autocomplete NLP Anusha Fatima Alam ESC190 - Computer Algorithms and Data Structures, Winter 2023 Code Developed an Autocomplete NLP that returns the top terms from an element text file using C in < 0.05 ms. Processed the file by sorting terms in lexicographic ordering and utilizing a modified binary search algorithm to extract matching terms, and resorting the matching terms by weight.
	CIV Bridge Project (Class Competition) Anusha Fatima Alam, Natasha Xiaoyue Yang, Kelly Chen CIV102 - Structures and Materials, Fall 2022 Design Report \| Engineering Drawings \| Calculations \| Python Source Code Designed and constructed a Matboard Box Girder Bridge that could withstand a minimum vertical load of 400 N using one 32” x 40” x 0.05” panel of Matboard and two tubes of LePage heavy duty contact cement. Programmed a script in Python to determine the optimal geometry and dimensions of the bridge to support a dynamic failure load of 710 N.
	Semantic Similarity Anusha Fatima Alam ESC180 - Introduction to Computer Programming, Fall 2022 Code Programmed and implemented an intelligent system that aims to approximate the semantic similarity between any two pair of words to determine the correct synonym from a list of alternatives using the euclidean distance between vector descriptors of each word.
	Gomoku A.I. Engine Anusha Fatima Alam ESC180 - Introduction to Computer Programming, Fall 2022 Code Developed an AI program using python to play Gomoku on an n by n board against both human and virtual opponents. The engine's decision making process is determined by experimentally tuned heuristics which were designed to simulate that of a human opponent.
	Credit Card Simulator Anusha Fatima Alam ESC180 - Introduction to Computer Programming, Fall 2022 Python Code Developed a credit card transaction simulator that manages the balance on a credit card by tracking new purchases, calculating accrued interest, and processing bill payments. It includes a basic fraud detection algorithm that deactivates the card if fraudulent activity is suspected.
