Project 1: Noise Pollution Monitor
Designed and built a portable noise pollution monitor using an electret microphone, LM386 op-amp, and Arduino Uno, calibrated to ±3dB accuracy
Programmed real-time signal processing (10kHz sampling) and developed a 16x2 LCD UI with decibel readings, trend graphs, and safety alerts
Implemented low-pass filtering, gain control, and logarithmic scaling to convert ADC output to calibrated dB values
Modeled and 3D-printed ergonomic enclosure; optimized circuit layout and power management for extended field use
Applied Kirchhoff’s laws, signal conditioning, and embedded systems—to address environmental sensing challenges
Project 2: RC Robot
Designed and fabricated a robot completely from scratch using SolidWorks CAD software, GD&T, and 3D printing.
Utilized CNC machining, laser cutting, and milling while ensuring precise manufacturing tolerances.
Conducted in-depth analysis of gear ratios and motor torque to enhance the robot's maneuverability and lifting capabilities.
Collaborated in a team environment to prototype and iterate on 3 robot designs, leveraging decision matrices to refine mechanical systems and improve overall performance under strict competition conditions.
Project 3: Interactive Climate Education Interface
Performed remote sensing research using aerial imagery to find trends in climate change, pollution, and natural disasters.
Worked 1 on 1 with NASA professionals to build proof of concept and take team's low-fidelity prototype to design an interactive educational tool to teach students about earth science and remote sensing.
Presented nal research at the NASA Science Symposium to communicate ndings with NASA scientists and engineers.
Integrating this program onto NASA’s website via Articulate Storyline 360 software.
Project 4: LunaSat Satellite
Developed and programmed a small spacecraft (LunaSat) with an integrated sensor suite to be sent to the Moon in 2025.
Designed LERSA (LunaSat Electronic Radiation Sensitivity Experiment) to detect parametric degradation of electronics on the lunar surface due to ionizing radiation and record potential anthropogenic effects.
Integrated the Power Management Integrated Circuit (PMIC) to monitor environmental variables in real time to determine and mitigate risks to lunar operations.
Used I2C scan code (Arduino IDE) to open up communication channels and probes for sensors and their IDs.
Project 5: Aerospace Research
Designed a CAD model of a geostationary orbit satellite.
Won 1st place in the program after my team and I presented our research video.
Used Blender software to design a helmet and glove, with a focus on saturation and radiation filters and modular temperature regulation circuitry, that would be integrated into the Mars extravehicular mobility unit for specialized EVA missions.
Completed research papers, graphic design projects, and certifications on space tech, earth science, and aeronautics.
