Worked in RF Propagation/Systems group my first two work semesters, then moved to the Electrical Engineering group! Led one project to create a way to convert two AA batteries to a D-cell size, as well as provide access to the batteries once installed so that rechargeable batteries could be replaced. I performed testing on a magnet sensor to make sure it was functionally similar enough to a solid state reed switch to replace it entirely. I also made a lot of great connections within Neptune… Show more Worked in RF Propagation/Systems group my first two work semesters, then moved to the Electrical Engineering group!

I'm working with Dr. Mark Adams (no relation) at Auburn University, learning about circuit board design and antenna design. In the few weeks I have been on this team, I have learned a lot about the shapes of directional antennas changing their effectiveness, how to use SolidWorks for CAD, and how to solder microscopic pieces onto circuit boards using solder paste and a hot plate (when the reflow oven is under maintenance).

I worked with Dr. Muljadi at Auburn researching blackouts and their financial impacts. His research was based around urging people to consider using renewable resources to mitigate the financial impacts of blackouts, mostly through use of Pump-Storage Hydro systems to store energy.
