Research

Sensing motion beyond sight.

Keyboard Interaction Sensing Through Opaque Structures Using mmWave

A graduate research project investigating whether subtle hand and finger motion can be inferred through obstructed environments using radar reflections, signal processing, and predictive modeling.

Jan 2026 — Present

Grad Research Project

Developed an FMCW radar processing pipeline to sense keyboard interaction through opaque structures using mmWave data.

Extracted micro-motion signatures from noisy reflections by building Python-based signal processing workflows for denoising, temporal alignment, and feature generation.

Improved keystroke prediction robustness by training machine learning models on radar-derived motion features across varied hand motion patterns.

Core Question

Can radar reflections capture enough structured micro-motion to distinguish discrete keyboard actions even when direct visual access is blocked?

Approach

Combine FMCW radar acquisition, feature engineering, and machine learning to transform weak motion traces into a more reliable interaction signal.

Potential Impact

This work could support privacy-aware interfaces, assistive systems, and sensing in environments where camera-based interaction is impractical or undesired.

March Madness Betting Platform

A full-stack betting platform designed for real-time NCAA tournament interaction, combining a responsive frontend, Java-based backend services, automated sports data ingestion, and containerized deployment.

Enabled real-time NCAA tournament betting by building a full-stack platform using React, Java services, and MySQL.

Implemented backend service communication and networking logic across containerized components.

Automated sports data ingestion by developing a web scraper that populates MySQL with real-time updates.

Simplified deployment by orchestrating frontend, backend, database, and admin services using Docker Compose.

This project is not live at the moment, but the codebase is available on GitHub.
