Experience

• M3 Architecture Group at Cornell Computer Systems Lab
  

• SoC Design Verification Intern at Apple
  

• Minibot ECE Subteam Member at Cornell Cup Robotics
  

  - Redesigned and tested a new motor circuit for the MiniBot to reduce battery drain caused by the previous design. - Working on the XRP robot to send to space on a Virgin Galactic spaceflight. - Wiring and testing UART Serial communication between the Raspberry Pi Pico and Raspberry Pi Zero for the XRP. - Write code for ClawBot, an attachment to the XRP designed to detect and pick up wooden blocks using a 3D printed arm.

• Electrical Engineering Intern at Sensata Technologies
  

  - Design and validate a confocal sensor set up to collect plunger data on different contactor models. - Collect contactor data and conduct a measurement system analysis to evaluate the accuracy and reliability of the sensor set up. - Create a MATLAB script to automate the parameter fitting process for a Simulink model and to graphically compare differences between different sets of parameters.

• Federal Systems Engineering Intern at Motorola Solutions
  

  - Intern for the Federal Post Sales Engineering team. - Work with the team to provide radio systems to the federal government (DoD). - Run coverage and frequency reuse tests of existing and proposed systems using Hydra Stratus. - Create power tables to verify UPS sizes. - Review and modify equipment lists with the team.

• Batten Research Group at Cornell Computer Systems Lab
  

  - Assist with the development of an evaluation framework for insect-scale robotics. - Evaluate insect-scale robotics workloads on gem5 (C++ cycle-level simulator). - Create and evaluate Eigen linear algebra kernel microbenchmarks on STM32 microcontrollers with different ARM Cortex-M Processors. - Analyze different disassemblies of microbenchmarks to understand performance of the Cortex-M processors (CPI/IPC, AMAL, execution time) on the microcontrollers. - Create a Python script to calculate the energy consumption of a program based on the output of a logic analyzer and current consumption board. - Microbenchmark different inlined assembly instructions on the regular and floating point unit to better understand the energy consumption of different kernels.

• Electrical/Hardware Engineering Lead at Cornell Cup Robotics
  

  - Lead a group of 12+ students to design a modular, cost-effective robot to help students from pre-kindergarten to undergraduate college students learn about robotics. - Developed a robot using the XRP controller and Raspberry Pi Zero 2W that was sent on a Virgin Galactic Zero-G parabolic flight. - Used an accelerometer to determine what point of the parabolic path the aircraft was in for different emotions to be displayed on a LCD screen. - Set up an Ardu-Cam for camera streaming using RTSP on a Raspberry Pi Zero 2W to be used as a POV camera.
