Improved Signal Performance Data

Electrical Engineering and Computer Engineering

Mentored by Dr. Fernando Ríos-Gutiérrez

This project involved collecting and analyzing data from a smartphone’s connections and making the information available through a simple application interface. Extensive use of the Swift programming language and the Xcode compiler were key development tools in creating a user-friendly presentation of the data.

Study of the Efficiency and Effectiveness of the First Four Iterations of Sierpinski Carpet Fractal-like Fins at Increasing Angles of Natural Convection

Mechanical Engineering

Mentored by Dr. David Calamas

A device’s thermal management system should retain internal temperature within the desired operational range. Electronics typically require extended surfaces to dissipate heat by increasing surface area as fins. The fins’ geometries utilized in this study are inspired by the first four iterations of the Sierpinski Carpet fractal pattern.

MusEEG: An Accessible, Facial Expression Brain-Computer Interface

Electrical Engineering

Mentored by Dr. Fernando Ríos-Gutiérrez

An open-source, facial expression brain-computer music interface (BCMI) for music performance is proposed. MusEEG aims to provide people with motor disabilities and various levels of music creation and/or performance experience with an opportunity to make music.

Study on the Viability of Preparing Plaster Molds for Rapid Prototyping of Complex Ceramic Parts using the Lost PLA Method

Mechanical Engineering

Mentored by Dr. Mingzhi Xu

This project covers the use of standard plastic 3D prints to create complex ceramic parts using lost PLA casting. Lost PLA casting is typically used in investment metal casting, but this study seeks to evaluate the viability of this process in creating plaster molds for ceramic slurry casting.
