I am currently carrying out experiments on the visual learning capabilities related to planarians and its relationship with other parts of the body. Furthermore, at a robotic team that I belong to, I am using Python to develop original tools and methods as well as software called Blender to create 3D models and animation for design and creation in preparation for the next tournament. As a member of the Masason Foundation, I would like in the future to develop my day-to-day ideas in a similar fashion to my own major goal, engage in exchange with other members of the Foundation, and stimulate each other.
