Graduate Research Assistant
Sept. 2024 - Mar. 2025Computational Interaction Group (CIX), Saarland University | Saarbrücken, Germany
- Engineered and deployed a scalable ETL pipeline (MediaPipe + OpenCV) processing 50k+ finger-movement events and log frames for multi-modal touchscreen studies
- Implemented automated data validation using Euclidean thresholding, achieving over 95% accuracy for event classification with real-time violation/accuracy reports
- Delivered reproducible, queryable datasets that cut manual processing by 30% and enabled dynamic forecasting pipelines for PhD research projects
