ACADEMIC PROJECTS
Senior Design (Lumbar Self Correction Belt)
Engineering a Lumbar belt to assist in correcting posture and reducing back pain. Flex sensor held to lower back sends variable resistance values to raspberry pi which converts analog to digital values and outputs vibrational stimulation back to user alerting when lower back angle is outside of optimum range. Systems (Automated Oscillometric Sphygmomanometer)
Engineered a blood pressure monitor from scratch i.e. constructed circuit (Instrumentation amplifier -> FO lowpass filter -> highpass filter -> noninverting op amp) and wrote algorithm using LabVIEW to acquire, filter and measure cuff data
