Academic Projects and Research

FENICS LEFT VENTRICLE BLOOD FLOW ANALYSIS Apr 2024

• Used FEniCS and ParaView to analyze and visualize given blood flow data and boundary conditions to determine fluid dynamics inside of inefficiently-working left ventricle.

• Utilized wind tunnel, pitot-tube, monometer, and rheostat to analyze and compare the impact on tip speed, torque, and power-generation efficiency by varying the number of wind turbine blades.

• Applied C++ to program motor-controlled autopilot for mini-quadcopter designed to take-off, hover in place and move to and land smoothly in specified locations with varied external input noise.

• Designed, manufactured, and refined physical 2-axis turret and used Python on ESP32 microcontrollers to drive motors with feedback control to adjust and maintain telescope position.

• Modeled and assembled a dart blaster from physical specs in Creo and created detailed animation of parts, assembly, and operation in 3ds MAX.

• Employed common electronics parts such as ultrasonic sensors, LEDs, buzzers and Python on an ESP32 to create a multiphase backup warning system applicable to automobiles.

• United common parts such as iris shutters and LED strips with custom 3D printed parts to generate a lamp capable of transitioning between a directed low-light study device and a room floodlight.
