This project addresses the gap between NERC’s traditional contingency framework designed around traditional generation and transmission systems and the rapid, large-scale load swings introduced by hyperscale data centers connecting to the transmission grid. It takes the form of a physical, button-triggered 3-bus transmission simulator that uses motors, LEDs, and real-time displays to demonstrate how sudden…

This capstone project demonstrated how artificial intelligence can run directly on resource constrained hardware. The team developed a proof-of-concept platform that captures signal data and uses on board AI to help identify unusual activity in real time. By combining embedded computing, RF technology, and machine learning, the project highlights a more efficient approach to security…

This project investigates the feasibility of adapting heritage instrumentation for a Psyche-like mission through system-level modeling and embedded implementation. A 50 W constrained payload was analyzed using LTspice and hardware prototyping. Results validate operation through prioritized load scheduling and dynamic power allocation.

The objective of this project is to design, build, and demonstrate a low cost active radar system capable of detecting objects and determining the angle of approach using software defined radio (SDR) , specifically the ADALM-Pluto. This device is capable of transmitting and receiving radio signals entirely controlled by software. This project will determine if…

This project is to design an AI powered drone to reduce the risks/costs of cleaning solar panels. The Drone uses a custom trained AI that runs on-board along with a specialized cleaning system. The drone can either be utilized using manual cleaning controls or can be run fully autonomously using the AI. Video Research poster…

This project develops a portable solar-powered charging system that uses a photovoltaic panel and MPPT controller to charge a removable 24 V battery for a small electric vehicle. The system emphasizes off-grid operation and introduces a battery swapping approach to improve reliability, safety, and flexibility compared to direct charging. By combining a working commercial controller…

This project builds an experimental system that mimics semiconductor fabrication by using a sensor-equipped oven and potatoes to study real-time process monitoring and control. It integrates thermocouple data, Arduino-based control, and a Raspberry Pi running machine learning models to dynamically adjust heating and achieve consistent results despite variations in the potatoes. The goal is to…
