Work History
Engineer Researcher
NASA/JPL/CSUN Drone Modular Smart Pallet
Northridge, CA
08.2021 - 05.2022
- Researched and developed algorithms for thermal imaging data acquisition for MLX-90640 IR Array Thermal Imaging Camera
- Performed calibration and research for depth mapping calculations and object detection on Arducam 8MP Stereo Camera
- Researched replacement for MLX-90640 IR Array Thermal
- Imaging Camera to meet project requirements of higher resolution and more accurate thermal imaging data Displaying Color Readings Using a Pmod Color (THIS IS ITS OWN PROJECT)
- Used a Digilent Pmod COLOR connected via Zybo-Z7-10 FPGA board to detect various colors of physical objects and colors on a computer screen
- Used Vivado IDE to create custom hardware design block for Pmod COLOR integrated via the Zybo-Z7-10 FPGA board Created custom Python code to display the physical color detected by the Pmod via a Python window
- Created custom C code to program the Pmod COLOR and receive RGB data via hexadecimal
