WORK EXPERIENCE

Process Engineering Intern II-VI Optoelectronic Devices Incorporated, Easton, PA Summer 2021

• Designed and performed a proof of concept to implement screen printing as the epoxy depositing method for semiconductor- based laser diodes (VCSELs)

• Used SolidWorks to design a stencil to yield consistent, effective epoxy deposits

• Ran tests and collected data on laser diodes to compare performance of screen printing to traditional syringe dispensing

• Learned to operate machines and perform testing in a BEOL manufacturing environment Electrical Department Sales Associate Lowe’s Companies, Inc., Bethlehem, PA June 2019 – August 2020

• Utilized problem-solving skills and knowledge of electricity and wiring to best assist customers to develop solutions to more complex, technical projects

• Expanded my perspective of the vast applications in which electricity is utilized in both home and professional settings TA/Grader for ENGR 100: Solar Electricity and Sustainable Living Bucknell University Fall 2019

• Graded homework and labs of students involving analysis of circuit schematics and photovoltaic feasibility assessments around campus

• Helped design and construct a solar panel array and taught students how to make relevant power and cost calculations ENGINEERING PROJECTS

Praxis of Engineering Project Spring 2021

• Designed and built an interactive, educational model of the brain meant to be put in a children’s museum to allow kids to actively learn how the brain processes information from the five basic senses of the human body

• Used an Adafruit Feather microcontroller to control 5 sets of corresponding sensors and LEDs in a model brain to represent the brain’s processing of the five senses

• Recorded power dissipation and performance data to ensure they met specifications Circuit Theory and Electronics Spring 2021, Fall 2020, and Fall 2019

• Analyzed capacitors, inductors, diodes, rectifiers, MOSFETs, and BJTs, including buck/boost Converters and current mirrors

• Designed and analyzed Op-Amp circuits to yield desired outputs, while considering non-ideal factors such as slew rate, input offset voltage, and input bias currents

• Constructed a line-following robot using an Arduino microcontroller, LDRs, potentiometers, and C++

• Designed and simulated schematics on Multisim

• Designed simple PCBs on Ultiboard

• Utilized electrical component datasheets to find relevant operating conditions

• Wrote formal technical reports to professionally represent data and findings Signals and Systems and Digital System Design Fall 2020, Spring 2020, and Fall 2019

• Used Laplace and Fourier Transforms to study and analyze RCLA circuits

• Analyzed and plotted data in MATLAB, including removing noise from audio files with matrix algebra

• Used a Laplace transform to design a system on Simulink that controlled a water pump’s PWM

• Performed root locus analysis in MATLAB to examine system stability, gain, overshoot, and settling time

• Created and experimented with PID controllers on MATLAB to optimize systems

• Designed and created a board game version of ‘Mario Party,’ creating a circuit of LEDs to illuminate player spaces and utilizing a Raspberry Pi to program the sequence of rounds, keep track of players’ scores, and run minigames where players interact with push buttons

• Used hierarchical design to build synchronous/asynchronous systems, binary adders, ALUs, registers, flip flops, etc.

• Worked with combinational logic gates and circuits to represent Boolean expressions and analyze race conditions Electrical and Computer Engineering 100 Final Project Spring 2019

• Designed and built, with a team, an IoT system with four different sensors, a microcontroller, and a Wi-Fi module to accurately sense the environment of a classroom over a two-week period and transmit the data over the internet.

• Imported both classroom and local weather data into MATLAB and plotted them to analyze the correlation between conditions inside and outside the classroom
