• Write a paper as first author on relative humidity (RH) sensor test for NASA internal database.
• Design and execute RF tests to evaluate S11 at 400+ MHz using non-contact wireless sensor, loop antenna and VNA. Material composition change is analyzed from S11 resonance and data from humidity sensor for Bilcare.
• Develop real-time data transfer from Arduino to Adafruit IoT Cloud server.
• Assist in understanding of neural work and classifier prediction (Random Forest) for machine learning model creation.

La Mesa, California, United States

• Assisted in understanding of permittivity of liquid solutions which relates to the development of a non-contact wireless sensor technology system that can detect product authentication throughout the supply chain.
• Performed saline dilution tests and evaluated S11 at 300+ MHz using VNA for material characterization.
• Assisted in development of Matlab curve-fitting routines for use in mobile application.
• Learned circuit modeling in ADS and antenna simulation in FEKO.

Jacobs School Of Engineering

• Categorized the motion behavior of kids with autism through quaternion analysis on pulse sensor and Arduino boards.
• Utilized software communication between Arduino and Python to transfer real-time data to GUI.
• Developed a wireless communication system using XBee.

UC San Diego

• Assisted in software and hardware design of a rocket engine test stand via P&ID, Solidworks routing (plumbing materials).
• Conducted cryogenic fluids calculation and verified with NASA working engineers.
• Assisted in documenting a design package of ASME U type pressure vessel for welding companies.
• Negotiated 60% - 100% off for design parts purchase with vendors, such as tank bolts, nuts, tubing, pipes and fittings.

United States

• Designed a lipid extraction process on microalgae Chlorella sp. using ASPEN Plus for the company Global Algae Innovations.
• Conducted research and designed plug flow diagram (PFD) for the extraction with 93% solvent recovery, and presented the findings through a proposal.
• Integrated the PFD into a piping and instrumentation diagram (P&ID) by adding HAZOP analysis and safety alarm systems.
• Evaluate the profitability such as payback period (PBP), return of investment (ROI) and discounted cash flow rate of return (DCFROR) via economic analysis.
• Won the Best Poster Award

San Diego, California, United States

• Conducted literature research and testing on solid polymer electrolyte (PVDF-HFP).
• Led an independent project on thin film coating on Aluminum foil using doctor blade, spin coating and ball milling.
• Learned how to fabricate coin cells inside glove box and analyze their I-V data through EIS and CV tests.

UC San Diego

• Aimed to provide hot water to the family of Casa de mi Familia in Playas de Tijuana by installing a solar water heater system.
• Gathered dimensions for the water pipes and solar PV panel on one trip, and installed the entire system on the second trip.
• Learned system materials (Tee, 90/180-degree pipes, glue, water tank) from Home Depot.

Cal Poly Ponoma (Regional), Salt Palace Convention Center (National)

• Designed and fabricated a chemical powered car with citric acid and baking soda.
• Won 3rd place in Regional Competition in Cal Poly Pomona (April 2015)

Department Of Chemistry

• Conducted research in extracting vitamin A in different food substances, and investigated which functional group facilitated its value (Epoxide).
• Analyzed vitamin A value via mass spectrometer and liquid chromatography, and its color pattern was anaylzed by ImageJ software.
