Undergraduate
Sound Source Localizing Tricopter
Designed and developed a tricopter and used the ODAS library along with ROS to localize sound sources.
Implemented the process of capturing and transmitting an image of a noise-emitting object to the server
Flow Induced Z Shaped Fin & Tube Heat Exchanger
Rated a Z-type crossflow fin and tube heat exchanger and compared theoretical results with experimental data.
Developed a feedback control system to regulate the flow rate based on outlet temperature.
Programmable Quadcopter
Assembled a quadcopter equipped with a dedicated IMU and microcontroller.
Integrated MATLAB to wirelessly transmit PWM signals to individual motors for control applications.
