ERIK COLTEY.
Profile Picture
Hey! I'm Erik.

I'm an incoming PhD student at Florida International University, majoring in Computer Science. My interests are in simulation software, novel AI methods, AR/VR, disaster management, space exploration, and the mixture of arts and engineering. I've had multiple experiences interning with NASA, and will be interning with Lam Research in the summer as part of the GEM Fellowship.


When I'm not studying for my degree, I'm working as a freelance 3D artist on the Steam Workshop, volunteering at the FIU edge lab maker space, or making personal projects which I publish on Github.

HI-SEAS VR

Built the foundations of a simulation for an analog habitat for Human Exploration Operations (HEO) training. Work included fully modelling and texturing martian and lunar environments from Lunar Reconnaisance Orbiter (LRO) data and Hawaiian mountain topography, along with programming functionality for VR support, vehicle control, and geological tools (LIDAR, XRF).


Built as part of an internship with NASA Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC).
