Projects and Research:

2017 IEEE Robotics Competition

The goal of this project was to design a robot capable of autonomously mapping a simulated underground tunnel network consisting of a block of EPS foam with a tunnel cut out, a thin length of galvanized steel and electrical wire running through it to simulate electrical infrastructure and a layer of plexiglass covering the top. We utilized stepper motors with an open loop control structure to calculate positioning through dead reckoning and used ultrasonic distance sensors as a secondary check on location. Once in position our robot used a capacitive stud finder to detect the electrical wire and a microphone to listen for differences in pitch from the sound of driving over sections where the density of foam was variable. Finally, we connected everything to a Raspberry Pie which handled all calculation and processing. Modeling electromagnetic fields inside fiber optic cables using MEEP (FDTD simulation software) An ongoing assignment for certain students in the physics department, at this point the project emphasizes theory and research over implementation or design. We seek to use the MIT Electromagnetic Equation Propagation (MEEP) software to develop mathematical models for the electromagnetic fields generated inside of a fiber optics cable of variable size, shape, geometry, and material makeup. I specifically hope to be able to generate accurate models of chromatic and modal dispersion with the goal of utilizing the phase shifts inherent in these effects to develop more robust data encoding schemes. 2016 IEEE Robotics Competition

My objective in this project was to develop a robot which could autonomously navigate a previously mapped environment in order to search for certain objects, identify those objects based on their color and return them to a previously designated position all as quickly as possible. Our robot ended up using two arduino microcontrollers in a master-slave configuration. The master, which handled search patterns and path planning, was directly connected to an array of infrared sensors used to obtain “global” positioning in addition to a camera system capable of tracking relative object position based on color recognition. The slave controlled a series of servo motors used to propel the robot and manipulate an arm/gripper used to transport the objects. Professional Experience:
