ENGINEERING PROJECTS
Temple University RUFUS Project, Web Developer 2011-2012
Working with a group of undergraduates developed RUFUS (Robot Used For Undergraduate Studies); a Telepresence Robot, which
students can control through our website to explore our engineering building and meet professors or other students in the building.
Worked on creating communication system between a netbook and router. Assisted in the development of the website of which to
control RUFUS.
Temple University Control, Sensor, Network, and Perception Lab(CSNAP) 1/2014-12/2014
As a senior design project, worked in a group of four in the faculty run CNSAP lab to create a new Tactile Imaging System called the
Optical Mechanical Imaging System (OMIS). The purpose of the OMIS system is to detect tumors and determine their malignancy
based on mechanical properties. As an EE member, worked on the design and building of a constant current LED circuit with bri ghtness
control and a force sensing system controlled by an Arduino Micro.
