 Constructing 3D Images from Multiple X-ray Projections 
 using Lie Group Transformations\n
 Image registration is crucial in radiation oncology, 
 yet traditional methods struggle with accuracy 
 in complex cases like X-ray projections, where 
 overlapping structures can distort alignment metrics. 
 Efforts were made to investigate the Lie Group 
 Sparse Coding Metric (LSCX) for improved stability 
 in spine tracking. For my physics capstone, I 
 examine how LSCX was developed and tested using 
 generated data, with the goal of enhancing precision 
 and reducing the risk of misalignment in high-dose 
 radiation treatments.\n

 Creating a modified Mach-Zehnder interferometer 
 with visible, beating interference fringes\n
 A modified Mach-Zehnder interferometer was constructed 
 to observe and analyze the interference of light. 
 The interferometer used acousto-optic modulators (AOMs) 
 in place of beam splitters, causing the arms of 
 the interferometer to differ in frequency. The 
 interferometer gave rise to a visible, beating 
 interference pattern which beat at the difference 
 between the frequencies of the AOMs. The interferometer 
 presents an opportunity for use in single-photon 
 experiments, building on the classic Mach-Zehnder 
 experiment to produce time-dependent detection 
 probabilities.\n\n
