Electronics design and embedded programming for the MOON Selfie Light:- PCB design- Microcontroller programming- Capacitative touch sensing

Meyrin, Genève, Ch

Worked under Melissa Franklin in the Harvard University Laboratory for Particle Physics and Cosmology.January-May 2016. Cambridge, MA: I worked on development of Micromegas front-end electronics, specifically calibration of onboard DACs for test pulse generation. Most of my work was in C++ (ROOT) and python, where I helped to develop a calibration GUI.June-August 2016. Meyrin, Switzerland: I'm working on the Higgs->WW* analysis, under postdoc Alex Tuna and graduate student Karri DiPetrillo. I'm using Monte Carlo-generated events to understand the flavor breakdown of the irreducible W+jets background in the gluon-gluon fusion and vector boson fusion channels, where the jet is falsely reconstructed as a lepton.August 2016-April 2017. Assisted with data collection and analysis of muon tracks collected with a Micromegas octuplet at the Harvard Cosmic Ray Telescope.

I worked under Professor Slava Rotkin and graduate student Michael Blades on AMO research in the preliminary steps of an experiment on FRET (non-radiative energy transfer) between rare earth ions and DNA-wrapped carbon nanotubes in solution. For this research, I developed a microfluidics system, designing the pneumatics, electronics, and software interface. I worked mostly in C for AVR and Arduino programming, as well as electronics design work.

AlterG is a medical device company whose original product, the Anti-Gravity Treadmill, is used in physical therapy clinics, nursing homes, and by professional sports teams to help people recover from leg injuries and surgery. As an intern, I:- Assisted the R&D team (Sep-Dec), Marketing (Jan-Mar), and Inside Sales (Apr-May) with ongoing projects: - Designed and built prototypes for a new product in development, working closely with engineers - Updated the company website, helped run a customer survey to inform marketing and sales - Researched and cold-called potential customers across the US- Headed a project analyzing auxiliary safety products for customer use, reporting to the marketing team.
