Projects

The mission of this project was to develop a scientific experiment that could detect and measure muons in space, with the aim of analyzing the cosmic radiation environment. To achieve this, a CubeSat and high altitude weather balloon were sent into the low-Earth suborbital environment to collect data about the Earth's atmosphere. Along with muon detection, altitude, temperature, and pressure were recorded for the use of graphical representation and analysis. Additionally, a design manual was developed to facilitate the processes of finding and ordering parts, assembling, and documenting preflight procedures. This improved the time-to-launch and increased sustainability for future missions, and helped to ensure that they could be carried out successfully.

Determine the parameters for causing irregularities in a circuit schematic using Cadence Spectre simulation software.

Create a program to operate a CrazyFlie drone to maneuver through an obstacle course both autonomously and manually.

Use a MSP430 to create a voltmeter capable of measuring voltage above the maximum rated.  Additionally, A pushbutton  and LED/LCD display will be implemented with ease of use along with pulse width modulation brightness control.

Autonomously operate a robotic car by implementing a fuzzy logic control scheme and an ultrasonic sensor.

Create filters to overlay distorted images to enhance visual quality.  Implement filters to remove background low and high frequency noise from audio file.

Design a CMOS operational amplifier in LTSpice to meet low voltage requirements including: gain, load, bandwidth, phase margine, and slew rate.
