Hub Ambassador, National Grid Sustainability Hub, Worcester, MA, May-August 2014.
 Developed presentations to educate costumers/employees about the smart grid project in Worcester.
 Documented network details and device descriptions of both the in-home and the grid networks.
ACADEMIC PROJECTS:
Control Engineering Project: Design and Analysis of Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), WPI, January-March 2016.
 Work in a team of three to analyze and controlthe functionality of ABS.
 Design an engineering structure to create a simplified block diagram for the controlsystem.
 Formulate system transfer functions and state transitions matrices to quantify the performance of the control system.
 Developed a control strategy using PID compensators to enhance the controlsystem.
Major Qualifying Project: Application of Giant Magnetoresistive (GMR) Sensors in Electric Guitars, WPI and Allegro
Microsystems, September 2015 - March 2016.
 Work in a team of three to build an electric guitar using GMR sensors instead of inductive pickups.
 Researched the cutting edge technology behind the GMR sensor and its different applications.
 Designed different signal conditioning circuits for the sensor’s output and conducted value analysis for each.
 Executed tests using different shapes of magnetic fields to optimize the sensor’s performance.
