Regardless of its political controversy, COVID-19 is currently an issue being dealt with globally. Just as the correct allocation of resources and preventative measures are essential to this ongoing fight, conducting research to better understand the help the world is also crucial in saving lives and bettering global communities. Because of my interest and passion for research, I felt an urge to create change in the state of this current world with my own skills. Inspired by MIT Professor Henry Winston's 6.034 course on Artificial Intelligence, I conducted a study with a custom simulation in efforts to understand how combinations of precautionary measures could impact the rate of spread within a closed community. Another aspect of this pandemic I tackled was regarding the transition to in-person learning. When schools were planning their transition back to in-person learning from e-learning, making the classroom safe was a hotly debated topic. My approach to this problem was creating a tool to minimize student to student contact in hallways while considering the transmission of the coronavirus. Aside from research regarding the pandemic, I also delved into various subject matters. I coded and deployed a tool to help students visualize and memorize sorting algorithms and also created simulations for a four-way intersection to analyze the efficiency of traffic flow. These research papers were originally produced as serialized posts on my blog, which can be visited at https://gomgom03.wixsite.com/blog/. The incorporated essays represent the methodology and results of the discrete scientific studies in which I participated in. Introductions have been included to provide context for the intentions of the various studies, and many of the projects contained within this work address practical concerns for the average reader. These works would not have been possible had I not attended a summer camp lead by Stephen Wolfram, who I consider as a role model. By setting these studies within their practicable applications, this volume aims to disseminate knowledge about the contemporary import of scientific data.
