The goal of our thesis was to write, film, and produce a short film. This movie, The Father, The Bro, & The Holy Spirit, follows an unnamed protagonist, The Bro, as he accidentally travels back to biblical times. There, he amasses a group of cult-like followers and turns his loyal disciples into the world’s first fraternity.

This creative honors thesis, AI for Authenticity: Reframing AI in the Beauty Industry, explores how artificial intelligence can be ethically repositioned in the beauty sector as a tool for empowerment, personalization, and inclusivity. Motivated by the problematic rise of AI filters promoting unrealistic beauty standards, the project challenges the dominant narrative by emphasizing AI’s potential to enhance natural beauty and self-expression. The campaign integrates a literature review, consumer insights from Ulta Beauty, interactive Instagram content, and a series of in-person tabling events across Arizona State University campuses. A visual strategy rooted in color theory and brand psychology helped create an approachable and emotionally intelligent aesthetic. The campaign culminated in a digital video ad, a photo series, and an immersive art showcase. Survey data revealed that participants’ perceptions of AI shifted significantly—46.15% viewed AI in beauty more positively after engaging with the campaign. The findings affirm the hypothesis that AI, when framed with transparency and human-centered design, can support rather than diminish authenticity in beauty spaces.

Description
The focus of this experimental study was on the determination of the vibrational features, natural frequencies, damping ratios, and mode shapes of aluminum bats. Of specific interest was the effect of the Tuned Mass Damper (TMD) that is located inside some bat models and how the TMD decreases the feeling of bat sting. Two different support strategies of the bat were used, the first of which was a soft support simulating free-free conditions. A second setup was used to simulate the bat being held in hands, in which the bat handle was immersed in cured ballistic gel. This boundary condition led to large damping and difficult to interpret experimental data. On the contrary, the soft support data demonstrated that the TMD alters the second mode of the bat, splitting it into two modes, increasing the damping, and moving a node closest to the handle, features that all have a beneficial effect on the vibration transmission to the batter’s hands. Project execution offered key insights into vibrational experimentation and highlighted lessons in project scope, communication, and timeline management.

Our group created a business plan with the intent to create and sell SPF eye drops. SPFeye addresses a growing public health concern: ocular UV exposure, which can lead to conditions like photokeratitis, cataracts, and macular degeneration. Upon extensive research, we came up with a formula that could be tested to become the next best thing in sun care.

Description
The purpose of this experiment is to determine how a variable emittance coating behaves in a cold space environment with variable internal heating, as well as to update the experimental apparatus to improve sampling time and minimize loss. The results of this experiment will show how a variable emittance coating performs under cryostat testing conditions in order to determine its radiative cooling properties. By optimizing the performance of radiative cooling materials, energy originally used to provide thermal control can be preserved.
