Past Projects

Manual inventory tracking is labor-intensive and error-prone. Our project uses RFID to automate these processes, reducing errors and reducing work for warehouse staff​. We aim to develop an automated system that integrates with existing warehouse setups, featuring a database and app for streamlined inventory management. This solution will enhance accuracy and efficiency, facilitating a smooth transition to improved warehouse operations.

This project aims to introduce students from 6th to 12th grade to the fundamentals of electrical engineering tools and concepts used in college laboratories. Students will develop precise communication skills to solve puzzles, mirroring the teamwork required when working with hardware and software components in academic settings. The system is designed to be durable and safe, ensuring it can withstand rough usage without incorporating materials that become excessively hot or have sharp edges.

The Comet GardenTech system incorporates various environmental detection sensors, microcontrollers, and communication technologies to monitor garden plots. Real-time data from the sensors is transmitted to an indoor gateway via LoRa technology, then uploaded to a website for remote access and analysis. This project aims to enhance water management, promote sustainability, and improve overall garden participation.​

The AMPD project is an autonomous payload drone capable of a carrying a 1-lb payload. The drone takes in GPS coordinates from the user and travels to the given location. It then uses image recognition technology to recognize the payload and pick it up.​

The Juniper Test Automation Framework requires a physical connection between the DUT and a server-attached switch, but bridging high-speed host interfaces to low-speed switches necessitates multiple switches or an adaptor.

With the rise of Internet of Things (IoT), long-distance device transmission is critical for the cities of today and tomorrow. In this project, we use the Wireless Smart Ubiquitous Network (Wi-SUN) protocol from Texas Instruments to implement a priority traffic system. After starting the network with a border router, we connect any number of traffic lights and emergency vehicles as CoAP nodes, via TI’s CC135 boards. Using Real-Time operating systems, we implemented tasks to handle CoAP messages that convey both direction and intent from the emergency vehicle to the traffic light. In the final project, a vehicle is able to connect to the network, press a button, and make the re

Problem: Circuit analysis of top-level parasitic capacitance is inefficient, challenging and very time-consuming

Objective: Design a tool to quickly identify parasitic capacitance, enhancing resource-efficiency without sacrificing accuracy

Background: ​Radio telescopes are signal-capturing instruments used to study celestial objects in the field of radio astronomy.​

Problem: ​Currently, in the field of radio astronomy, there is not a radio telescope that can be purchased by educators or hobbyists for educational outreach.

Solution: ​Create a radio telescope that will capture an image representing the Milky Way's hydrogen line. 

Our project develops a portable and efficient solar charging system featuring a foldable 200W solar panel. It uses an MPPT-integrated DC-DC converter to optimize power transfer, delivering a stable 12V output. An internal battery with a BMS ensures safe energy storage and protects against over/undercharging. A custom power delivery board supports various devices with built-in protection, ensuring reliability in diverse environments. Our system is then housed in a 3D printed case where it can be easily transported.​

This project addresses the need for affordable, customizable solutions in optical networks by focusing on the development of an
OpenROADM-compliant In-Line Amplifier (ILA) and enhanced optical network simulation tools. The controller team streamlined the software architecture using Docker and Docker Compose, creating modular containers for NETCONF server, network communications, and ILA integration. This ensured compliance with OpenROADM standards while improving system reliability and simplifying development. Simultaneously, the simulator team successfully integrated Lightynode with the ONE Engine, improving its ability to simulate optical devices in complex networks. Key achievements include building and debugging modular containers, refining update scripts, and utilizing API endpoints to ensure a seamless transition from Honeynode to Lightynode. This collaboration between hardware and software demonstrates significant progress toward non-proprietary solutions, enhancing simulation capabilities and fostering innovation in optical network technologies.
