Hydrocephalus is a neurological disorder characterized by an accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the brain, which leads to increased intracranial pressure. Our team was tasked with developing a non-invasive, real-time monitoring system that uses acoustic sensors to assess shunt valve functionality. The system listens for specific sound patterns generated by valve actuation and uses…

The goal of this project is to develop a reliable monitoring system for the PDMS duckbill valve, a prototype developed by an ASU research team, using a doppler sensor to directly capture ultrasound data from the implant and provide real-time insights on whether it is operating as intended. The project involves designing a method to…

This project aims to support utility companies and the communities they serve during emergency power outages in order to ensure that the next time major power sources go down for extended periods of time, the number of people who die as a result is reduced to zero. This goal was accomplished via a microgrid and…

The system includes battery sizing recommendations for providing “ride-through” power during outages, along with a protection and automation framework for managing power transitions. Key features include island detection, load shedding, generator synchronization and seamless restoration to the utility grid when power is restored. The proposed solution is designed to maintain uninterrupted power for critical lab…

This project explores the use of open-source tools to design, simulate, and prototype custom integrated circuits at low cost. An 8-bit SAR ADC and support circuitry were developed using Icarus Verilog, KiCad, Qspice, Arduino and Python. We aim to make chip development more accessible to students, researchers and small companies. Video Research poster View the…

Develop a High Frequency Electrochemical Capacitor (HF-EC) housed inside a compact, surface-mount package to support operation at high-frequencies and promote circuit miniaturization. The HF-EC is to have improved filtering for applications at line frequencies and replace the use of Aluminum Electrolytic Capacitors, or AECs. These devices specifically target use cases in energy harvesting and filtering…

This project is primarily focused on the creation of a DC to DC converter that is able to utilize renewable energy from a photovoltaic system to create hydrogen through the process of electrolysis in a PEMWE.

A programmable metasurface, or PM, is an array of sub-wavelength, tunable radiating elements. A PM reflects an incident electromagnetic wave as a beam and can manipulate this beam electronically. Our team designed a high-speed programmable metasurface that can switch between beams fast enough to encode additional data, opening up a new realm of possibilities in…
