PROJECTS AND EXPERIENCES
Wirelessly Powered LVAD – UWEE Entrepreneur Capstone (Winter 2018 – Spring 2018)
• Design a vest embedded with a transmitter that is used to wirelessly provide power to LVAD via a receiver implanted inside human body
• Responsible for implementing wearable ECG sensors to monitor heart pulse and adjust blood flow accordingly
• Develop C program to transfer data between transmitter and receiver via Bluetooth Electrohydrodynamic (EHD) Propulsion – (SEAL) Research Assistant (Winter 2018 – Spring 2018)
• Designing an avionic system using a plasma actuator to reduce wind-flow separation to prevent stalling
• Performing test on NACA 0015 airfoil with an asymmetric dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) actuator in wind tunnel
• Experimenting with MEMs modeling using COMSOL and MAXWELL software Interruptible Embedded System Design (Spring 2017)
• Built a RoboTank with automotive and controlled operational functionality
• Developed C program to collect analog data from controller, to read/store converted digital data via Bluetooth and IR sensors; the data later used to generate signals inputted to H-Bridge for driving motor Computer Architecture (Winter 2017)
• Developed and simulated a pipeline CPU comprising: data memory, data path unit, and control unit following the Harvard computer architecture
• Designed a 16 x 2k SRAM architecture featuring a 11-bits address bus, a 32-bit bidirectional data bus, a 32 x 32 Register File, and a 16-bit ALU using Verilog HDL
• Hand-compiled: C fragment into assembly code, and assembled into machine language for an instruction set Synchronous Buck Converter (Autumn 2017)
• Designed a DC – DC step-down converter meeting the design specs with closes loop control
• Compared different commercial PWMs, MOSFETs, and controllers for design optimization Power Flow Solver (Autumn 2017)
• Designed and documented a MATLAB program solving a power flow problem using Newton Raphson method with a 12-bus system input data, one swing bus, 4 PV buses generators, and 7 PQ buses
• Tested power system’s behavior under base case and contingency conditions informing users about any power overflow or violations only with 3 iterations
Cash Office Clerk (June 2016 – Present)
