Passionate about designing resilient and eco-friendly infrastructure and enjoy applying engineering principles to real-world challenges. My team is Coastal Development, and we are am excited to contribute to innovative solutions for a more sustainable future. The Seabreeze Parking Garage The Seabreeze Parking Garage Project, located at the corner of Thomas Drive and Patronis Drive in Panama City, Florida, will support the adjacent Seabreeze Hotel. Led by Project Manager and Geotechnical Engineer Bradyn Luna, the project team—including Environmental/Hydraulic Engineer Justin Haber, Structural Engineer Eduardo Vasquez, and Transportation Engineer Genna Patterson—will design a 2-story, 318-vehicle parking garage on the existing 7-acre site. The design will address the site's natural slope towards an adjacent creek with a drainage system incorporating inlets, piping, and a 15,000 sq ft, 4.5 ft deep pond, sized to accommodate runoff from both the garage and the hotel (estimated 100,000 sq ft impervious area). Geotechnical investigations, including existing boring data, will inform foundation design, considering shallow spread footings and deep foundations due to sandy soils extending to 70 feet. The garage structure, anticipated to be approximately 55,930 sq ft, will utilize reinforced concrete slabs, double T-beams and columns. Traffic engineering, following Florida standards, will optimize internal circulation and ensure safe access to Thomas Drive, including turn lanes, signage, crosswalks, and sidewalks. To achieve this, we are utilizing design/drafting software such as Civil3D, OpenRoads and ICPR. The Seabreeze Parking Garage project’s design showcases a comprehensive application of civil engineering principles, integrating geotechnical analysis, structural design, hydraulic considerations, and traffic engineering to deliver a functional and efficient parking facility.

Discriminating Between Available and Unavailable Edibles The client in the procedures is a thirteen-year-old boy who attends ECAP approximately 25 hours each week. Caregivers have expressed concerns regarding the client’s touching other’s food and consuming food items that are unavailable to him. Additionally, the clinical team has observed a deficit related to the client’s ability to discriminate between available and unavailable food items, evidenced by his persistent manding for edibles when clinician prompt him to wait. The clinical team elected to implement the program Discriminating Between Available and Unavailable Edibles. Within the first objective, clinicians placed an available edible on a green stimulus and an unavailable edible on a red stimulus. Clinicians systematically increased the duration of which the client was required to wait for the unavailable edible, but he was provided access to the available edible at any point. Within the second objective, clinicians removed the green and red visuals. Clinicians presented the available edible and verbally stated that the client could have access to the edible, followed by presenting the unavailable edible and stated that the client could not have access to the edible. If the client attempted to grab the available edible, the clinician blocked the response and stated, “you can’t have the (edible) yet,” while shaking their head “no.” The client has shown significant progress within this program and is currently working towards mastery of discriminating between available and unavailable edibles and refraining from attempting to consume the unavailable edible for two minutes without a visual prompt Melissa Januchowski Florida State University Applied Behavior Analysis, Psychology garred@psy.fsu.edu Discrimination, Waiting, Complete Job fair poster screenshot 3.21.25.jpg No 2025 5th annual Undergraduate Research Symposium, April 17, 2025 https://pc.fsu.edu/student-research/symposium/research-symposium-program-portal?element_parents=elements/student_photo&ajax_form=1&_wrapper_format=drupal_ajax&token=DxYKhPQd41G8cdu4M-fsiuuL0IBCOshR97wN0sBPXS0

Nutrition in Academia The type of food that kids eat can have a significant impact on their class placement. Researchers have discovered a correlation between nutritional consumption and how it affects your academic performance for decades. This study aims to provide a distinct viewpoint on this connectivity, as well as insights about class placement. To do so, a survey was distributed to high school students aged 14 to 18. Asking participants to describe their typical diet and the classes they are taking. The raw data was then evaluated, and conclusions were derived based on the types of foods and frequency of consumption. While the data and outcomes gathered throughout this analysis were conclusive, additional research is required to boost lucidity.

Importance of Role Models in the Social Development of Teens Human behavior is a core characteristic of our nature. From birth, we observe and imitate others as they shape our development. The most notable figure we observe from adolescence is role models. Depending on the type of role model, it can fundamentally shape their social behavior. For decades, research has uncovered the link between adolescent behavior and role model influence. This study seeks to reveal a different perspective on this interconnection, offering insight into the lesser-known variable of inadequate role models. To do so, a survey was given to high school students aged 15 to 18. Asking participants to identify an inadequate role model in their life, analyze their risk behaviors, and analyze their participation in risk behaviors while scaling the role model they chose from least to most important on a 5-point Likert scale. The raw data was then analyzed, and conclusions were drawn based on their perception of the inadequate role model, how it impacted them, and their behavior. The experiments’ outcomes offer a myriad of applications, especially concerning teenagers. It is extremely advantageous for providing a comprehensive understanding of the outcome of teen perception towards inadequate role models and how that affects resiliency. While also allowing individuals to procure methods to improve relationships between teens and role models as well as increase the importance of prosocial behavior among people of any age. While the culmination of data and results were conclusive within this investigation, research beyond this experiment needs to be performed in order to increase lucidity.

"Got Beads" Maladaptive Behavior Intervention through Contingent Access to Preferred Stereotypy Throughout clinical sessions, Colton exhibited variable-to-high rates of SIB, aggression, and ATO. Colton’s SIB has changed topographies from primarily wrist biting to include hand biting, leg biting, head hitting with an open palm, and hitting his head on walls. Additionally, Colton’s ATO can be observed by Colton hitting tables, walls, and throwing objects including toys, chairs, and tables. Colton’s ATO in the form of throwing items has become a safety concern for clinicians as well as himself. Additionally, clinicians and caregivers are concerned with the topography of Colton hitting his head on walls and hitting his head with his hand regarding his 4common antecedent for Colton’s SIB is his current behavior intervention plan. Colton’s current behavior intervention plan was mastered in April 2023, but the magnitude of behavior episodes has increased recently with fewer precursors appearing immediately prior to the behaviors occurring. Although behavior episodes occur usually only once or twice during a four-hour session, the magnitude of these behaviors has increased to result in broken skin, bruising of the wrists (biting) and sides (pinching), and broken tables and furniture. These behaviors more importantly are a concern for Colton’s safety but also interfere with his continued skill acquisition.
This behavior intervention plan utilizes antecedent interventions such as a visual schedule and differential reinforcement of other behaviors (DRO) (Roberts, Mace, & Daggett, 1995; Smith et al., 1995).

Maximizing FRC Autonomous Efficiency with Probabilistic Decision-Making Models This paper explores the application of probabilistic decision-making models to enhance the efficiency and reliability of autonomous operation in FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) robots. Traditional deterministic autonomous programs often struggle with variability in sensor data, drivetrain inconsistencies, and unforeseen obstacles, leading to suboptimal performance. Robots can dynamically adjust their actions based on real-time conditions by integrating probabilistic models, optimizing movement strategies, and increasing scoring efficiency. Drawing from research in autonomous vehicles and Bayesian networks, this study examines how probabilistic frameworks improve adaptability and decision-making in uncertain environments. Key findings demonstrate that probabilistic approaches enhance FRC autonomous strategies by enabling real-time adjustments, reducing error rates, and maximizing competitive performance. The results suggest that future FRC teams can benefit from incorporating probabilistic modeling techniques to develop more robust and flexible autonomous routines.

The melting point phase diagram of a cocrystal between L-Proline and Naproxen This experiment focuses on a selected cocrystal system model to understand cocrystal formation using Naproxen and L-Proline. Naproxen is known as a slow-absorbing pain reliever and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) in the profen family, and L-proline is a very successful amino acid cocrystal stabilizing coformer. Researchers interested in zwitterionic cocrystals can use them to make cocrystals due to their conventional chemical properties in active pharmaceutical ingredients (API). We will be using a melting point phase diagram and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) to collect data and other measurements and analyze their temperatures. The melting point phase diagram of the solid cocrystals will be determined by mixing different ratios of L-Proline to Naproxen to note and analyze their changing melting points. To conclude this experiment, we will establish a melting point phase diagram of organic cocrystal formation using pharmaceutical drugs like L-proline and Naproxen. Dr. Paul W.

Static Works Racing The rapid advancement in racing platform capabilities have led to unprecedented performance, subjecting drivers to extreme forces that are surpassing physiological limits. Maintaining precise vehicle control has become increasingly complex, making necessary the development of assistive technologies. Contemporary solutions have begun focusing on steering ratio modulation and the implementation of steer-by-wire systems, following past trends in aerospace innovation.
The aerospace industry has successfully implemented fly-by-wire systems, and in the most high performance applications, proprioception as a part of the control scheme is well proven. Proprioception is the human body’s ability to sense position and movement in three-dimensional space, and the human's inherent ability for proprioception makes it an ideal part of a closed loop control system. This is an opportunity to enhance the human-machine interface in a high-performance environment, where the margins for error are minute. The proposed research aims to develop an automotive proprioception steering system that is engineered for high-performance racing vehicles, and will be fully vetted in a simulated racing environment. This novel approach seeks to leverage human proprioception capabilities with advanced electronic control systems to revolutionize how drivers interact with their vehicles under extreme conditions.

My research has centered on optimizing database architectures for machine learning applications, working to create more efficient systems for processing and analyzing large datasets. This intersection of structured data management and predictive modeling has become my professional passion, driving me to develop technologies that can scale effectively while maintaining data integrity.
Comparative Analysis of Machine Learning Models for Flight Delay Tracking and Prediction This study presents a two-phase approach to analyzing and predicting airline flight delays. The first phase consists of a comparative performance analysis between Neo4j and SQL in tracking cumulative flight delays across aircraft tail numbers. The study measures execution time and query efficiency in calculating cumulative delays across multiple aircraft. This database performance comparison provides insights into the scalability and efficiency of graph-based versus relational database approaches for flight delay tracking.
The second phase evaluates three machine learning models for delay prediction: Random Forest, Gradient Boosting, and XGBoost. These models were trained on flight data including basic flight information such as departure times, carrier details, and route distances. The study performed feature engineering to create additional predictors like weekend flight indicators and time-based features. Performance comparison between the three models was conducted using metrics like RMSE and prediction accuracy within various time thresholds. Feature importance analysis across all three models helped identify the most crucial factors in predicting flight delays.
