Bio
Hello! I'm a Software Development Consultant and Tech Lead at Accelerize 360 - a Salesforce Partner firm. My interests include computer science, life-sciences, neuroscience, photography, and business. Currently, I'm also spending time learning about neuroscience and brain-computer interfaces, and how advancements in these areas can be translated into commercial products that can cure neurodegenerative illnesses. In my free time, I'm an avid photographer; I have a DSLR and a DJI Mavic Mini 2 Drone. I shoot primarily railways and landscapes, although I do photo gigs on the side as well for people. I'm happy to talk photography and share tips and tricks. Aside from photography, I also enjoy tennis and reading.Project ideas
Project ideas are meant to help inspire student thinking about their own project. Students are in the driver seat of their research and are free to use any or none of the ideas shared by their mentors.
What Is The Carnivore Diet?
There has been a recent interest in the 'carnivore' diet - a diet consisting of consumption of purely meat-based products and meat - which has been anecdotally successful at treating patients with immune disorders. Clinical studies on the carnivore diet's impact on longevity, health, and other metrics have been few however. Is it a fad? Or is there a key insight about it that could be beneficial for those looking to improve their health? Learn how to design a clinical trial to test the impact of nutrition on human health through this 'tasty' project!
