Work on Verilog Implementation of an open-source CPU using the ARM Cortex instruction set. RTL Design and Verification of the CPU datapath in Verilog, and planned synthesis of the CPU onto a Xilinx FPGA.

Perform research on computational electromagnetics. Use MATLAB to perform computational analysis of electromagnetics problems that cannot be solved by purely analytical techniques. Apply the method of moments to analyze the electromagnetic scattering due to an arbitrary shape for some incident field.

Conduct AI research regarding the viability of biological reservoirs in neuromorphic computing, specifically the use of DNA or RNA reservoirs, due to their relatively simple mathematical model and complex dynamics. Build and test reservoir networks using the Python toolbox Oger to identify written and spoken digits.
