Transient Weather Satellite Capture
Satellite Systems
field%20pic_edited.jpg
Summer 2020
Developed a platform to automatically receive, demodulate, and process transient weather satellite signals into near real-time images of the earth.
​
A successful prototype was developed that can do this task for up to five days, until its battery runs out.

Heart Rate Monitor
Analog Design
Winter 2019
A heart rate monitor was designed out of analog parts from a piezio-electric sensor and built on a breadboard.
​
Analog signal processing, amplification, filtering, and design were all sills practiced in this project.

VHDL: Morse Code Translator
Digital Design

Spring 2019

Coded VHDL to use an FPGA to take a message inputted by a user and output it as Morse code, via light and sound.

Machine Shop TA
Machining, Maintenance, Instruction
Learned how to operate machine shop tools such as lathes, mills, TIG and MIG welding, and CNC routers. Helped researchers and students fabricate their projects, and maintained equipment.

PID Control:
Inverted Pendulum
Control Theory

Spring 2019

Used op-amp circuits to construct PID control of an inverted pendulum. This controlled a car's acceleration to balance a stick on a pivot, with a sensor to detect the stick's angular position.
