Work History
Undergraduate Hardware Research
1 Month- Developed arbitrary waveform generator under faculty supervision, emphasizing mixed-signal hardware design, waveform generation, and embedded system integration.
- Researched waveform-generation architectures, DAC selection, analog filtering, and output signal conditioning to define hardware design requirements.
- Evaluating circuit design approaches for waveform accuracy, frequency range, output amplitude, and signal integrity.
- Planned schematic development, circuit simulation, PCB implementation, and hardware validation with laboratory instrumentation to ensure design accuracy.
Power Delivery Team Member
4 Months- Collaborating with a multidisciplinary robotics team on power distribution and communications requirements for an unmanned aerial platform.
- Contributing to power subsystem planning, including electrical requirements, distribution architecture, component selection, and integration with onboard electronics.
- Coordinating with electrical, embedded systems, and robotics teammates on subsystem interfaces and integration considerations.
Electrical Engineering Laboratory Projects
2 Years 5 Months- Designed, simulated, and tested analog circuits involving operational amplifiers, diode rectifiers, RC/RL/RLC networks, transistor circuits, and active/passive filters.
- Used LTspice and laboratory instrumentation to analyze circuit behavior and compare theoretical calculations with experimental measurements.
- Developed digital logic designs using Verilog, including combinational and sequential circuits, with simulation and FPGA design tools.
