Randall Borruso graduated from the University of Connecticut in 2017 with a Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Engineering and a 3.618 GPA. His senior design project involved creating a navigation device for the visually impaired using sonic beam forming and wearable actuators. As an undergraduate, he also worked on projects detecting sudden infant death syndrome and measuring muscle flexion. Borruso gained industry experience interning at Medtronic performing product testing and analysis. He has worked as a residential assistant at UConn and a server to fund his education.

Design Work
Senior Design Project: Navigation Device for Visual Impairment August 2016-Present
 Effective and inexpensive alternative to “white cane” and guide dogs for visually impaired individuals
 Uses a sonic beam forming method with transducers to detect nearby obstructions and relay the information to a grid of
wearable actuators
Junior Design Project: Sudden Infant Death Syndrome Detection by Harness System August 2015-December 2015
 Detected a pause in breath, via flex sensors, of 20 seconds and outputted an audible alarm using Arduino
 Designed using SolidWorks for creation of the circuit housing, and 3-D printed for said housing
Comp Aid Design, Model&Graph: Yahmaha Bass Drum Pedal August 2016-December 2016
 Worked with a partner to accurately draft a three dimensional model of all the parts of a Yahmaha bass drum pedal
Biomeasurements Design: Flex for Size December 2015
 Measured angle of bicep with flex sensors and used EMG sensors in order to detect maximum flexion in bicep
 Demonstrated the design by showing when the angle and max flexion was achieved, a light was turned on
 Awarded 1st
place design in lab section
Electrical Circuits: Analog Equalizer
 Created a three band equalizer using hardware components
