Projects

Raspberry Pi Projects

Bluetooth Contact-Tracing VIEW PROJECT

Key Technologies Used: Python, Python Bluetooth Libraries, Numpy, Pandas, Matplotlib

• Used Python and bluetooth libraries to successfully demonstrate the feasibility of Bluetooth Low Energy for automated proximity-detection for COVID-19 by conducting Raspberry Pi signal experiments

• Used Matplotlib for data visualization and Numpy & Pandas to parse CSV data and run statistical analysis on key signal parameters such as RSSI (Recieved Signal Strength) to design a proximity detection algorithm based on COVID TC4TL (“Too close for too long”) parameters

Contributed toward Private Automated Contact Tracing (PACT) Intiative led by MIT CSAIL:

CubeSat Active Debris Removal VIEW PROJECT

Key Technologies Used: Python, TensorFlow, Computer Vision, Finite Element Analysis, Dynamic Motion Analysis, 3D CAD

• 3D Printed Physically built CubeSat mockup prototype containing embedded systems and low-light cameras and IMU sensors

• Simulated prototype performance with dynamic motion and finite element analysis (FEA) in Autodesk Inventor

• Used Python and Tensorflow to train ML model on curated dataset and implemented model into debris detection script yielding 95% confidence per detection
