Adapt Training

Adapt Training is a fitness facility dedicated to using the latest advances in training and physical therapy. Their computer programming needs were twofold: 1) an objective method of scoring exercise movements using a rubric designed by the head trainer for the purpose of assigning workouts, and 2) a method to share with the client (with username and password via a large database) their custom workout. These tasks had to be wrapped into an accessible, easy-to-use interface. I used MySQL, Perl (CGI), and JavaScript to implement a form-based approach via web-browser.

This was a study that examined the effect of the Appalachian Mountains on the precipitation distribution of tropical cyclones that impinge upon them. With the help of my advisor, Anantha Aiyyer, I began by classifying the 28 storms that passed through our study area between 1979 and 2006 into four general track types. I analyzed the track composites resulting, examined individual case studies, and ran numerical simulations with topography (control) and without (experimental) to isolate the effects of the Appalachians.
