APPLICABLE ENGINEERING PROJECTS AND COURSEWORK
EcoCAR 3 – Hybrid Electric Vehicle Team (HEVT) – Electrical Sub-team September 2014 - Present
 Creating a design to convert a Camaro into a consumer acceptable hybrid vehicle including the powertrain, power flow, various vehicle technical specifications (acceleration 0-60, braking, cargo capacity, etc.) and more
 Working on the electrical sub-team to design and simulate the HV and LV system, including building and bench testing the HV and LV harnesses, embedded controller, and energy storage
Power System Analysis Spring 2014
 Analyzed AC power systems, single and three phase networks, electric power generation, transformers and transmission lines
 Created design simulations for a three phase transmission line power systems using MATLAB coding
High Altitude Balloon Mission Spring 2013
 Collaborated with a team of students and professors on an extra-curricular research project to construct and launch a balloon into high atmosphere to collect position, temperature, and altitude data and take pictures
 Designed and programed the on-board computer that controls the technology on the balloon including the inflow of data, sensors and cameras
CPU Hardware and Functionality Design Fall 2012
 Built a simple computer by designing, hardware coding, and implementing multiple circuits on an A&D “ANDY” Board and a DE0 Nano Board
 Developed an Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU) that carried out arithmetic, logical, and shifter functions, and integrated the ALU into the design of a simple cycle CPU
Electric Circuit Analysis Fall 2012
 Constructed a variety of electrical circuits on an A&D ANDY Board, including an electronic metronome, ideal differential circuit, and logical probe, all receiving varying voltage inputs from an oscilloscope
 Analyzed circuits using various programs (e.g. PSpice) and hardware to understand and manipulate circuits
Music-Light Box Spring 2012
 Fabricated a music-light box using a complex circuit composed of multiple band pass filters and operational amplifiers connected to arrays of LEDs that successfully lit up based on frequency of song played
 Learned the schematic for a project specializing in how band-pass filters effect frequency of the input song
