UMBC LIBRARY Since September 09

Baltimore, Maryland

• Maintain and troubleshoot problems with the public and staff computers

within UMBC campus.

• Responsible for maintaining antivirus software services in all computers in

library

• Maintain and check inventory database for status update for proper

changes reflecting proper status of computers as under maintenance, replacement or

new equipment

• Maintain the LabStats software with the real time location of each

computer with status of used, free or out of order.

RESEARCH PROJECTS AT UMBC

Digital Signage Spring 2009

• As a technical research team member, made sure that all the hardware and the

project setup was correct.

• Helped with software design and presentation of URCAD.

Active Worlds Spring 2009 & Fall 2011

• As a lab assistant, responsible for software setup, creating model for Gallery

and providing virtual land for students to build their museums.

• Helped students and groups who needed extra assistant other then class for

their final project.

• Organized presentation of the project with multiple projectors using URCAD.

Wii-mote Spring 2009

• Helped with setting and troubleshooting Wii-mote which you can turn a white

board or any similar surface into interactive surface.

Designing and Programming 8086 board Fall 2010

• Designed the PCB board using Cadence Tools and programmed the board

using Assembly language as a part of a group project.

Research and Design of a lab on chip device Fall 2011

• Designed a device that shall isolate and count the various blood cells in a given

sample of blood.

• The device could be further enhanced to detect various diseases that affect the

blood cell sizes and thus affecting its electrical impedance, to be used as point

of care instrument.

A low cost Signal Demodulator Fall 2012 & Spring 2013

• To design and develop a low cost Signal Demodulator to demodulate various

type of AM and FM signal using digital signal processing ideas and techniques.

Linux Kernel Modification

• To design Inter Process Communication system by writing code for Linux

kernel version 3.7.6 kernel.

• To design and modify a few layers in file system code.

Programming FPGA using Xilinx Spartan 3E demo board

• In order to learn the fundamental components of the Xilinx FGPA tools

required to enter and assemble HDL code using a schematic entry tool and

program an FPGA, program the VGA port on the board such that the color

displayed in a rectangular screen changes when changing the switch position.

• To Design and write the Verilog for a block that adds three 5-bit floating point

numbers into a 2's complement output that is sufficiently large to represent all

inputs but with no extra bits.

• To Design a block which adds 27 single-bit numbers, but where each input is

not a standard binary number--instead each input represents -1 or +1. A zero

input is -1 and a one input is +1. So the sum ranges from [-27, +27] and the

output of the adder is to be represented by a 2's complement number

sufficiently wide to represent all input combinations.

• To create a video game using the leds and the rotary pushbutton simulating

saving POWs.

• To Design a circuit which performs multiplication of two 2’s complement

integers sequentially. Construct the multiplier for two 16-bit operand

containing just one adder which adds successive partial products over

successive clock cycles.

• To design a game of pong using on-board VGA port and rotary pushbutton.
