Merging Communication and Radar Imaging Systems with Professor Chandra Pappu, — Union College

September 2024 - Present

• We are working on using multiplexing encoded chaotic waveforms to create an ISAC waveform that can be used in a combined radar imaging and communications system

Modified Microwave System, Microcontroller Projects — Union College

Spring 2023

• Worked with classmates to create a simple version of a microwave with user-chosen values for wattage and time.
• Used knowledge about the NUCLEO board and external power supplies to power the system and gained experience interfacing a multitude of different components
• Created clear, and easy-to-follow presentations and instructional videos to convey our system to an audience that doesn't have previous knowledge about circuits. This presentation, along with the code and design, was published on the ARM Textbook Github Repository

Audio Amplifier, Electrical Engineering 101 — Union College

Spring 2023

• Was given a set of parts, including a PC board amplifier chip, different levels of capacitors, resistors, potentiometers, and a small speaker system.
• From there, I planned and implemented the components to create a functional audio amplifier with volume control.- Was given a set of parts, including a PC board amplifier chip, different levels of capacitors, resistors, potentiometers, and a small speaker system. - From there, I planned and implemented the components to create a functional audio amplifier with volume control.
