Disco Ball Chandelier
Disco Ball Chandelier
The chandelier was created for the M.E.A.T. (Music Experiments in Emerging Arts and Technology) Valentine's show. Based on the performers vocals and backing track, changing visuals were projected onto the disco balls. During the performance the chandelier was hung on stage using a C Stand, and used as an artistic and musical interaction.
Based on Sayma Hossain’s work, Ten Toes Down, Political Climate was made from reused and upcycled materials. This instrument and speaker are a handmade interactive system designed to be a statement piece on today’s political divide about climate change. Press on the glitter buttons and interact with the sensors on the instrument to enter into soundscapes of different environments.
Spherical Loudspeaker Project
After researching the acoustical significance of spherical enclosure designs compared to rectangular designs, this project was formed.
The final design is a midrange speaker with a green glitter finish.
Some of Devon's personal projects in CAD include lampshades 3D printed with colorful translucent filament. This design was made in Fushion 360 with a pine wood material.
This three PCB piece project involves two small boards that attach into one larger board to create a comprehensive hardware testing kit.
This project details the procedure for designing a 4-bit Arithmetic Logic Unit (ALU). Beginning with schematic design, the constructed the ALU to operate on a 5V power supply at 100 MHz, accommodating three 4-bit input vectors and producing a 4-bit data result with status signals. Simulations validate functionality, covering basic arithmetic to complex logical functions. Layout simulations and post-layout simulations ensure performance aligns with design expectations.
Devon's senior capstone project focused on developing an Automated Volume Reduction System for automobiles. This system utilized RF signals to detect nearby emergency vehicles and provided drivers with an auditory warning, enhancing awareness and safety while on the road.
AIAA Avionics
Devon served as the Avionics Lead for the University of Miami's Chapter of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics. Where she was able to help the team with the electronics onboard the rocket and present her circuits to the NASA Student Launch Competition.
