2018 - 2018

Computer Engineering Summer Intern, Spawar Systems Center Pacific

www.public.navy.mil/spawar/Pacific/Pages/default.aspx

Assembled and Programmed a Liquid Metal Deposition System

  • Goal: provide the lab with a prototyping tool that would be used to print Graphene transistor channels for experiment samples.
  • Purpose: This benefits the lab by eliminating the need to purchase the standard high cost equipment such as a bio-printer.
  • Main Components: Thor Labs Linear Actuators, Fluigent Microfluidics Control System, Matlab
  • Results: successfully programed the 3D actuators to parse .stl and .gcode files and interface with the microfluidic control system

2017 - 2017

Computer Engineering Summer Intern, Spawar Systems Center Pacific

www.public.navy.mil/spawar/Pacific/Pages/default.aspx

Designed a portable data aquisition device with complementary GUI software

  • Goal 1: provide the user with real time data from a high precision ADC (analog to digital converter)
  • Goal 2: design with the future intention of pairing with a graphene photo sensing element
  • Main Components: Arduino Uno, 16bit ADC, standard photo sensing element, C and Python languages
  • Results: accomplished Goal 1 and Goal 2 and improved the project with a stronger processor (Raspberry Pi 3) after returning to school

2016 - 2016

Summer Intern, HiCapacity

hicapacity.org

Explored Ruby on Rails & designed a Wearable Electronic Comic Con Piece

  • Added profiles to a membership portal, updated a static website using Jekyll
  • Rapidly prototyped and designed a wearable electronic device in three weeks to present at The Amazing ComicCon
  • Device: LED light up glasses controlled by a microcontroller encased in a 3D printed necklace housing
