ACADEMIC PROJECTS
CSULA Projects
Southern California Edison - Energized Line Detector
Developed a warning system that detects electric fields around high-voltage overhead distribution power lines for multiple voltage levels
Designed a detector to provide a warning to operators when the aerial arm or bucket is moving in the direction towards the energized power line
UCI Projects
Clock Data Recovery (CDR)
Designed a clock CDR circuit for a SONET OC-48 application using a 0.18 µm standard CMOS process, which used a Phase lock loop (PLL) to align the data and clock signals at 2.5Gbps.
Operational Amplifier Design using a 0.13 μm CMOS process
Designed and simulated an Operational Amplifier with 60 dB gain and 3GHz bandwidth in Cadence Spectre Circuit Simulator
Phase-Locked Frequency Synthesizer Design using a 65 nm CMOS process
Designed and simulated a 100GHz CMOS frequency synthesizer with robust performance in the presence of supply or substrate noise
