- Gained proficiency in creating accurate 3D models using SolidWorks software for analysis and simulation
Red Blood Cell Count Automation in MATLAB
- Developed an imaging process script in MATLAB that identifies and counts red blood cells in microscopic images
- Validated code accuracy against manual cell counts and enhanced code detection via filtering techniques
Electrocardiogram(ECG)
- Used LabView, ETH-256, and a function generator to capture and analyze ECG waveform components
- Used bandwidth filtering and calibrated gain settings to improve signal clarity, applied knowledge of sampling rates and signal processing
Biomechanics Orthopedic Implant Design
- Created a 3D skull implant by modifying a scanned human skull file and inserting equidistant holes in Materialize Mimics software
- Overcame software challenges and successfully prepared a 3D-printable model for specific surgical application stimulation
Senior Design Project: Smart Spacer Device (https://engprojects.tcnj.edu/bamdi/)
- Designed a smart spacer attachment using an SFM-3300 Sensirion airflow sensor, Arduino Nano, color changing LED's, and 3D-printed ABS housing
- Provides real-time feedback to help the user maintain a proper inhalation airflow (30-60 L/min)
- Developed within a design control framework which included justified design inputs, prototyping, and verification/validation testing
- Prioritized affordability, manufacturability, and compliance with various safety standards, an example being IEC-60601-1(Electrical Safety)
- Attended the Northeast Bioengineering Conference (NEBEC) senior project poster presentation held at NYU to present our project and model on April 5, 2025
