Ambitions by day. Unfinished projects by night (finished eventually...)
EE Phd Aspirant · two research labs · table with too many projects · wants more to work on
I'm a UCONN electrical engineering student, working in two research labs and as a Circuits TA. I also have- lets see... 8 projects in progeess...
I love tackling new challenges (maybe a little too many), but the pursuit of learning always keeps me busy. Have something for me or just looking?
Integrated Photonics and Semiconductor Fabrication, a perfect match.
Microring and microdisk resonators for dense wavelength-division multiplexing. I'm implementing Novick's transfer-matrix model in Python. I am now working towards designing systems in ANSYS Lumerical to address AI power dissipation bottlenecks.
I built a python program to measure SiO₂ thickness on silicon with an OceanOptics HR2000+. Report in progress.
Gokirmak reminds me to focus on finishing things... I'm sure I'll get there eventually.
MJL3281A / MJL1302A outputs · ~77% efficiency near peak
A discrete power amp tweaked slightly from Rod Elliot's P217 with thermal analysis and efficiency plots. Push-pull output stage, biased and measured.
18 machines · Live Updates · PrusaLink → Firebase
Full-stack monitoring for a fleet of Bambu and Prusa printers, including a subnet auto-discovery script so new machines announce themselves instead of being added by hand.
public circuits-practice site · in use now
An open educational resource for circuit analysis, with assignment attempt-tracking I rebuilt around Firestore transactions after hunting down two interlocking bugs in the deploy pipeline.
CoreXY frame · AD5933 impedance front end
A bed-of-nails alternative: probes on a CoreXY motion system measuring impedance point-to-point, so a bare board gets tested without machining a custom fixture for it.
laser doping of silicon → p-n junction
Driving dopant into silicon with a laser to form a working junction using close to hobbyist equipment. Success criterion: one honest rectifying IV curve.
DMD projection · Elegoo Mars 4 as UV source
Homemade photolithography: a resin printer repurposed as a UV exposure unit already gave a clean first exposure in dry-film resist. Next up, a UV laser photolithography device built from a gutted MakerBot 3D Printer.
I propose repeatable, intuition building practice sets into shifting the way students learn. I also make videos to guide my students when the patches get rough. All this lives free to the public at circuitspractice.org and YouTube.
Research, collaborations, or someone who needs a problem solved.
