Singapore University of Technology and Design, Singapore
- Research Assistant - Sensing, Actuation, and Mechanism (SAM) Design Group of Robotics Innovation Laboratory (full-time) [Jun 2016–Dec 2019]
Developed an uncalibrated, self-initializing robotic vision-guided cell micromanipulation system for versatile deployment and easy operation, in collaboration with Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), USA & National Institute of Education (NIE), Singapore.
Developed an ultrasound-guided visual servoing system to compensate involuntary movements of the surgeon and the patient in kidney stone removal surgery, in collaboration with Changi General Hospital (CGH), Singapore.
Prototyped an augmented reality-based smart human-computer interface for maintenance, repair and overhaul of jet engines, a joint project with Rolls-Royce PLC & Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore.
Designed and developed a vision-based workflow to facilitate automatic detection and tracking of the blastomere and the micropipette in Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) of in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) procedure.
Undergraduate Projects
University of Moratuwa, Sri Lanka
Final-year project: Implementation of SSVEP-based brain-computer interface for emergency healthcare (Semester 7 and 8: June 2015 – March 2016)
Developed a brain-computer interface by decoding visually-evoked potentials to assist people suffering from “locked-in syndromes” to communicate their basic daily needs to a caretaker more easily and effectively.
FPGA-based vehicle collision avoidance system [Semester 5: July 2014 – October 2014]
Implemented a system on an FPGA to sense obstacles in blind spots of a vehicle simultaneously (both left and right sides) and assist the driver with intuitive audio-visual feedback.
FPGA-based temperature control system [Semester 5: July 2014 – September 2014]
Developed an FPGA-based system to detect room temperature using analog temperature sensors, give visual feedback on the current temperature level and intelligent control of the temperature as a closed-loop system.
Taxi dispatching system [Semester 4: January 2014 – July 2014]
Developed a website to place taxi orders as a desktop application. Multiple interfaces were designed with the integration of backend databases to retrieve information for managing customer profiles and order histories.
PCB prototyping machine [Semester 4: March 2014 – May 2014]
Built a printed circuit board (PCB) prototyping machine with pre-heating, printing and post-heating stages. This prototype used the inkjet printing mechanism to print the PCB schematic.
Digital stethoscope [Semester 3: September 2013 – January 2014]
Designed and developed a proof-of-concept device to acquire and visualise heart sounds in real-time. Employed signal processing techniques to denoise signals and stored data in a PC for offline analysis.
Robot design and competition [Semester 3: June 2013 – December 2013]
Built a line-following robot capable of carrying out several specified tasks. The tasks included grid searching and solving, object detection, avoidance of obstacles, picking and throwing an object.
GSM-enabled fire alarm system [Semester 2: February 2013 – May 2013]
Built a system composed of multiple smoke sensors placed at different locations and central communication unit to detect and notify in case of a fire by sending audible-visual alarms and a text message to a pre-assigned mobile number informing the location of the fire.
Analysing Wi-Fi coverage of the department premises [Semester 2: March 2013 – May 2013]
Mapped the connectivity strength of Wi-Fi networks in the UoM ENTC premises and surrounding to improve the overall Wi-Fi coverage in the building by identifying areas with weak connectivity.
