ENGINEERING PROJECTS
Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science, UCLA Los Angeles, CA Smart Cooling System Winter 2014
• Designed hardware and LabView code to automatically activate a cooling system when the temperature reached a specific threshold value
• Detected temperature changes in the environment, using a thermistor tracked by a LabView program
• Designed a LabView code to send an output signal that activated the cooling system, which was a result of linearizing the temperature-resistance relation of the thermistor Digital Signal Processing Matlab Project Spring 2013
• Designed low and high pass ideal filters using Discrete Fourier Transform
• Simulated ideal filters design using a Matlab algorithm, obtaining the expected output Control of a Synchronous Generator using Simulink Winter 2013
• Simulated a non-linear synchronous generator to drive a motor, using Simulink
• Reached desired output consisting of a nonlinear system linearized under predicted conditions Engineering and Numerical Computations Project Fall 2012
• Replicated Newton’s Method designing a Matlab algorithm, for finding successively better approximations to the roots (or zeroes) of a real-valued function
• Designed simulation of the Modified Newton’s Method to obtain an acceptable root approximation with the desired error tolerance
• Simulated algorithms for solving linear and non-linear systems of equations, using
