The University Village Pedestrian Connectivity Project (UVPCP) is a multiphase infrastructure project aimed at enhancing pedestrian and micro-modal transportation between the �鶹Ӱ��, Reno (UNR) and Downtown Reno. As UNR expands southward, Interstate-80 (I-80) presents a physical barrier that limits safe and efficient access to the University Village, a proposed mixed-use, pedestrian development. This multi-phase project seeks to foster connectivity, safety, and economic growth.   Phase One focuses on designing a pedestrian and cyclist only cable-stay bridge spanning I-80. This chosen design is beneficial due to its visual appeal, cost-effectiveness, constructability, and accessibility.   Phase Two addresses site development for University-owned and surrounding parcels south of I-80, with considerations for grading, utility infrastructure, and traffic impacts that come with increased commercial development.   Design efforts span multiple civil disciplines, including Structural, Environmental, and Transportation Engineering. The project integrates advanced design methodologies learned at UNR, industry-standard guidelines, and a new solution to create a safe, efficient, and vibrant campus extension.   The UVPCP aligns with UNR's long-term vision and the City of Reno's master plan, reinforcing the university's role in regional development while improving mobility and urban connectivity.

Over the past decade, roughly 595,000 wildfires burned 63.6 million acres across the US. Prolonged exposure to the smoke produced in these wildfires leads to an increased risk of cancer and cardiovascular diseases.  With these risks, wildland firefighters have little to no options for protecting their lungs from the burnt material particulates. The little options that wildland firefighters do have either aren't efficient in filtering the air, too bulky, or make it too hard to breathe. This project aims to protect the lungs of wildland firefighters through a light-weight respirator that can filter out toxic particles and allows firefighters to work without constricting their movements.

The MedPass project aims to address the concerning decline in USMLE Step 1 examination performance among UNR medical students. This program serves to be a supplement to current learning resources and classes by utilizing predictive tools and machine learning models to analyze student performance data across multiple sources. By identifying specific knowledge gaps that could be overlooked due to the pass/fail grading system, MedPass creates personalized learning plans that are tailored to each student's unique needs. The platform analytics serve to benefit students but also faculty as well, who gain valuable insights into class/year-wide performance trends enabling targeted curriculum adjustments based on analysis. The MedPass program utilizes industry standard technologies and practices such as NextJS, Tailwind CSS, Pandas and more opening the door for continuous development and improvement. The project will serve as indispensable to a medical student's academic career as failing the USMLE Step 1 can dramatically alter a student's career trajectory and potentially reduce the already limited pool of new upcoming medical professionals.

In 2023, Greater Nevada Field drew over 300,000 fans, its highest attendance since 2015. To alleviate game-day congestion, we propose a two-way bridge over the Truckee River, linking Ballpark Lane and Museum Drive. This will improve traffic flow, enhance pedestrian access, and boost connectivity in downtown Reno.
