	Skinning with Polygonal Mesh, Olga Shevchuk. Olga did a joint math and computer science thesis on dual quaternions and their applications to skinning (implemented in C++). Her work earned her an honors designation.
	Artistic Hair Modeling, Ziyao Wang, 2021. Ziyao researched geometry and machine learning approaches to modeling different styles of hair.
	Error Analysis in Embodied Conversational Agents, Yuxiao Wang, 2020. Yuxiao researched the effect of conversational errors in conversational agents. He also set-up the preliminary agent consisting of dynamic dialog and facial animation in Unreal Engine, using a character from the game, Paragon.
	Role Player Game (RPG) Development for Artificial Intelligence Testbed, Katherine Lima, 2019. Katherine created her own multiplayer 2.5D environment, Capture, based on the Flare game engine in C++.
	The Q*Bird Level Designer: User-assisted procedural Level Design in Augmented Reality, Yi Fei Cheng, Motion in Games (MIG) Conference, 2019. Yi Fei developed a procedural level generation algorithm for an augmented reality game (Unity, C#).
	Adaptive Bayesian learning of Playstyles by Mirabai Smoot and Nana Anikuabe, 2019. Mirabai implemented different clustering algorithms in Python and Jupyter Notebook, including a novel non-parameteric clustering algorithm.
