Honor & Awards:
2009 Toshiba NSTA ExploraVision - mentored a team of elementary students which was one of six finalists nationwide. The students developed the ideas for the HoloSmart paper, a futuristic desktop computer made of four flexible layers: an ultra- thin battery, a polymer-based computer system, an organic LED (OLED) display / camera, and a touchscreen. Students could roll it up and carry it in a small backpack, then unroll it on their desks as a read/write work surface, or stand it on end in a curved fashion, allowing it to project holographic images and videos.
