ABOUT

With almost three and half years of hands on circuits experience through practice, internships, personal, and academic handheld projects, computer simulations, and designing application. This experience and knowledge will be asset to any team projects as a valued team member. In particular, I have experience in application engineering, and experienced on design tools such as VISIO and toolkit. Through the academic year, I have learned embedded computer system (Micro-controller) using a mix of C languages, which implemented buses for I/O design and standard bus timing and interface familiarity of RTOS, ARM Cortex M4, M3 and Harvard architecture, in-circuit simulator, Logic Analyzer, Peripherals, ADC and DAC, Functions. Projects that use ARM Cortex M4 (TM4C123), Arduino micro-controller such as Tuning Fork using Interrupts, Functional Debugging using SysTick Timer, Switch (LED Interface), Pacemaker, Branching Functional delays demonstrate acquisition of relevant knowledge. I have also gained knowledge on VHDL through academic and hands-on laboratory practice. For the RF and Microwave Circuits class, I designed RF Low-pass and Band-pass filters as a final project, which eventually was selected by the professor for class demonstration. I have also acquired deep knowledge of switching and power electronics through the design procedure of a traction drive system for an electric car for my Integrated Power Electronics class.
 
My professional experience in two internships with Bird Technologies has allowed me to develop vital work experience, networking, and collaboration skills with team members and troubleshooting knowledge that can be useful in a future career. Additionally, my experience with various projects relates to battery back-up power systems. My colleagues judge me as a hard worker, quick learner, a good team player, as well as an active coordinator. I can work under any pressure and I am capable of problem-solving.

Battery Back-Up System

Beside the electrical design, I have done Wiring, assembling parts, and trouble shoot, documentation (photos and drawings) the battery backup text fixture project completion (DIN RAIL). This battery back power system designed to get the backup power when there is a power failure by mechanical, technical or natural disaster.

ALARM

This was the first time ever I experienced with Surface Mount Device(SMD). This is an alarm board that detects, provide information if system facing any error issues, and with more different functionalities. Primarily, First I have soldered, and then troubleshoot this alarm board for detecting short connection and other issues. I have gained proficiency on SMD though the project. It was a great task, despite the issue on board short connection. I had real fun after I detected and resolved short and unwanted connection.
 
 

RESEARCH ASSISTANT

A radio is a path uses as wave that propagates and transmit information from one location to another using radio waves. Another way it could be describe as a radio wave is an electromagnetic wave that propagated by an antenna. An antenna is anything that transfer and receive electromagnetic energy from space. This electromagnetic energy transmits and receive through a coaxial cable or microstrip line, either way, antenna’s main job is to receive and transmit electromagnetic signal. There are many types of approaches could be used for designing an antenna. Our primary goal is to design an antenna that could transmit and receive about 10-20 GHz RF frequencies. ...........(To be continued)

This is a ongoing research project. ....................................................................

PROJECTS

Microwave Traffic Sensor

Primary goal of traffic light (besides safety) is to minimize the number of traffic aggravations experienced by the motorist.

Propose to build a system that would change the traditional traffic light system (pre-timed or actuated traffic signals) to automated traffic system.

Microwave sensor will be placed above ground and use RF to sense either stationary or moving vehicle (Doppler Effect Theory) on each lane.

Propose to use frequency band either X, K, Ka, and Q (depends on their high reflection power).

The fundamental goal is to send RF (by using Directional TX patch antenna) which would eventually hit the object and bounce back to RX antenna, these received RF will be amplified, and convert to DC to Microcontroller.

Then the Microcontroller will do the rest as per user specifications.

This is an Ongoing Project..........................
