• Coordinated and led month-long trip abroad in which we installed solar power systems with A/C wiring for 2 indigenous Amazon communities• Prototyped charge controller circuit and small-scale hydropower charger• Manage weekly team meetings, 4 large recruitment events per year, and internal and external communications

• Created a complete RISC-V, out-of-order, 6-stage pipelined, 2-way superscalar processor with P6 style register renaming and early branch recovery written in SystemVerilog and compiled, synthesized with Synopsys tools• Verified and debugged design with testbenches, Verdi waveform viewer, and C and assembly programs

• Designed a low-voltage bandgap reference circuit including its op-amps and startup elements for a 1.2V supply, 100uA current, and 10ppm/℃ temperature coefficient (5x better than required coefficient)• Utilized Calibre for layout/DRC/LVS and Spectre for simulation and Monte Carlo analyses, showing 100% yield

• Finished a single slope ADC cell in Cadence Virtuoso by customizing its analog mixed signal simulation testbench in SystemVerilog and updating its layout• Validated the signal integrity of a post-ROIC channel for space applications using eye diagrams in SpectreX simulator• Initiated schematic integration of FPGA and DDR DRAM in Altium Designer• Analyzed root cause corrective action for temporal and spatial image degradations

• Implemented a complete RISC processor with both custom and APR blocks• Added to baseline chip a 64-word by 16-bit 8T SRAM block with a voltage level converter • Characterized functionality and performance with digital and analog simulations which informed improvements

Ann Arbor, Michigan, United States

• Consulted 4 companies in electronics across the automotive, environmental, MEMS, and medical imaging industries.• Verified the PCB and embedded system design for Canada’s next generation delivery vehicles’ control module through ~175 tests involving:o CAN, LIN, SPI, & I2C communicationo DC power supply and electronic load, custom test boxes, oscilloscope, multimeters, thermal camera• Utilized Altium Designer for creating and reviewing schematics and PCBs• Assembled electronics for MEMS IC calibration system by wiring, wire harnessing, and soldering

• Completed 6 trainings on various wet lab procedures, including viral vector and bloodborne pathogen handling• Execute immunofluorescence, histology, imaging, RNA isolation, and sample embedding and sectioning to reprogram stem cells for chondrogenesis in the treatment of articular cartilage degradation

• Mentor a group of 9 University of Michigan freshmen through the transition to college• Build community by planning and executing social, educational, and service-oriented events
