ECAC Championships 2023
After a successful broadcast during the 2022 ECAC Hockey Championships, CCTv was asked to return for the 2023 tournament. This year posed some interesting challenges, especially with the cameras being on the opposite side of the ice from our production area. I needed...
ECAC Championships 2022
Back in late 2019, Clarkson Club TV (CCTv) was asked to broadcast the ECAC Hockey Championships in March 2020. Unfortunately, the world had other plans, as everything shut down due to the pandemic about one week before the tournament. After a modified season with no...
Predicting Shot Events in Ice Hockey
As part of my Masters of Computer Science, I wrote a thesis on predicting shot events in ice hockey using broadcast footage. Since my only data source was what the camera saw, and not even where the camera was pointing, I first had to figure out what the camera was...
Scoreboard Data Script
As part of Clarkson's TV station's move to ESPN+, we decided it was time to change how we showed the game clock on the broadcast. For the first year or so of our broadcasts on ESPN+, we had a static camera pointed at the scoreboard, which was then cropped and...
Task-Driven Biometric Authentication of Users in a VR Environment
During my undergraduate career, I performed research in the Terascale All-sensing Research Studio (TARS) at Clarkson. One project that I worked on was performing biometric authentication of users in VR through tasks. By capturing the position of a user's hand as they...
FallFest 2018
I got to plan out our fall concert again this year, and originally we were going to go with a small R&B artist. However, with just one week left before the show, he had to cancel due to a family emergency. I worked with our agent and the rest of my team, and we...
SpringFest 2018
This was the first concert I coordinated without extra assistance. During FallFest 2017 I had the previous President of Clarkson Union Board (CUB) help out a lot, but this one I only had the assistance of the rest of my team. We had been having problems with...
FallFest 2017
Starting with FallFest in 2017, I took on additional responsibilities. Since our previous President was out on a co-op, I moved up into the role of President of Clarkson Union Board (CUB), which means I coordinate the two annual concerts. It was a great learning...
SpringFest 2017
One of the things I like about Clarkson Union Board (CUB) is that we hold elections in the winter, just before the end of the fall semester. This gives freshmen a chance to become involved after just one semester, and it gives graduating seniors an entire semester to...
FallFest 2016
As part of Clarkson Union Board (CUB), I was the lighting designer for Clarkson’s annual FallFest concert, held on September 3rd, 2016. Our headlining act that year was Lindsay Elle, an up-and-coming country artist. I was tasked with designing a lighting rig using our...
SpringFest 2016
Back in my freshman year, I helped out with setting up our annual SpringFest concert, held on April 21, 2016 in Cheel Arena. At this point, even though I was the Lighting Chair for Clarkson Union Board (CUB), I got to “sit back” and just set up the equipment for the...
