(1 year 6 months) I worked under Professor Ali Hajimiri to improve wireless feedback for a wireless power transfer system. • Designed receiver controller capable of transmitting data, load switching, and charging USB devices • Designed generator controller capable of receiving data, communicating over SPI, and optimizing power transfer • Implemented protocols and algorithms to quickly optimize power transfer regardless of the receiver’s location • Currently doing RF design to improve the receiver's efficiency

(1 year 10 months) I taught recitations and held office hours for students enrolled in the Principles of Microprocessor Systems and Microprocessor Systems Laboratory courses at Caltech. In the Microprocessor Systems Laboratory course, I led the Blackfin MP3 player project. • Taught Caltech undergraduate students about software and hardware design for embedded systems • Topics for EE/CS 051 included x86 assembly software for conversion functions, queues, LED display, keypad, parallel interfacing, serial UART, and state machines • Topics for EE/CS 052 included drawing electrical schematics, PCB design and layout, timing analysis, CPLD programming, Blackfin assembly, and software and hardware debugging

I joined Honeybee Robotics Pasadena office to help the electrical engineering team work on various robotic projects. • Designed and assembled electrical systems on systems intended for extraterrestrial sample collection • Worked on schematics, electrical assembly, motor controllers, PCB design and fabrication, and PLC design

I worked under Eric De Jong of JPL's Solar System Visualization team to help automate the animation process • Created Python scripts that analyzed telemetry data from the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) and automatically generated photorealistic animations of the MSL in Blender, an open source animation software • Created a C++ GUI for the Mesher Red application that reduces meshes of 2.5D objects to generate terrain files used for JPL animations
