Vipin Gunda ’25 is excited about projects that apply his computer science knowledge to real-world challenges.
The projects in Assistant Professor Cheng Zhang’s group are a perfect example – EchoWrist and ActSonic are both devices that use acoustic sensing for facial, hand gesture and activity recognition, a method that preserves privacy, unlike video recognition. The applications of this research range from improving accessibility for the disabled to tracking daily habits to help diagnose mental illness.
“I’ve always been interested in interdisciplinary work,” said Gunda, a math and computer science major in the College of Arts & Sciences and a student in the Cornell Ann S. Bowers College of Computing and Information Science. “That’s why I applied to A&S, so I could explore all kinds of classes.”
