Electrical Engineering
Hands-on circuits and hardware builds — from optical data links to a custom built electric cloud chamber device.
Portable Electric Cloud Chamber
Co-designed a reusable, dry-ice-free cloud chamber using eight cascaded Peltier thermoelectric coolers and a closed-loop water cooling system, sustaining the −26°C gradient needed to visualize ionizing radiation tracks. Invited to present the device to the college's Board of Trustees, made available to students as a public demonstration tool, and awarded Outstanding STEM Project.
Quantum Random Number Generator Circuit
Designed a beamsplitter-and-photoresistor circuit intended to harvest true randomness from vacuum fluctuations, comparing voltage readings across two polarized paths to output a binary digit per Arduino cycle.
LiFi: Transmitting Data via Light Waves
Built a laser-and-phototransistor link that pulses binary-encoded text between two Arduinos over free-space light, then characterized transmission accuracy against distance from 50cm to 300cm.
