Electrical Engineering School: University of California, San Diego Year: Junior Awards & Honors   San Diego Science and Engineering Fair Runner-Up 49th Greater San Diego Science and Engineering Fair Senior Sweepstakes Runner-Up   Extracurricular Activities   iBotics Embedded Systems Specialist Implement low level control systems interfacing with the main computer (PC-104) and the various sensors and actuatoirs of the Stingray. Create custom controls and interfacing systems using AVR microcontrollers using C and assembly programming languages (see EE design project below). Electrical Engineering Design Project Worked in a team of three to design and prototype a custom sonar sampling and processing board to be used on the San Diego iBotics AUV. Board conditions 3-channels of hydrophone signals through instrumentation amplifiers and programmable band-pass filters. Signals are then sampled through a 12-bit ADC onto an Atmel microcontroller.   Current Employment   Embedded Systems Specialist Institute for Nonlinear Science, University of California, San Diego Worked on developing an autonomous smoke-plume tracking robot.
