Letterboxrs: Webscraping Letterboxd Movie Ratings
SQLite database updated via Python webscraping of LetterBoxd movie ratings. Python data analysis of aggregated movie rating results.

Quantitative analysis of muscle strain via MRI image processing
Developed Python MRI image processing methods to study muscle strain. Examined the effects of different ankle angles and exertion levels on strain. Fiber Gif

Muscle strain aligned in the direction of muscle fibers
Projected strain for each voxel in MRI images in the direction of muscle fibers. Compared results for young and old subjects.
