TECHNICAL PROJECTS
Analog Hardware Trojan | Final Project for Integrated Electronics | Fall 2017
• Designed an injection-locked ring oscillator and circuitry to trigger an alternate state of oscillation
• Used Cadence tools to create a schematic and physical layout, then attached the layout to a pad frame
• Compensated for parasitic capacitances, ran simulations to verify functionality, then prepared a report
and PowerPoint presentation detailing circuit design, operation, and simulation results
Optical Signaling Device | Final Project for Circuits & Systems | Spring 2017
• Designed and built a circuit that uses oscillators to generate a signal which is transmitted via IR LED
• Designed and built a circuit that receives the IR signal and uses active filters to identify its frequency
• Tested functionality and performed frequency analysis to ensure project specifications were met

SKILLS
Experience with Cadence schematic capture, layout, simulation, and logic synthesis tools, Verilog,
ModelSim, PSPICE, Multisim, Arduino and ARM microcontrollers, oscilloscopes, function generators,
soldering, MATLAB, Simulink, C, C++, Python, Microsoft Office products

ACTIVITIES AND LEADERSHIP

Eta Kappa Nu (HKN) Honor Society, Member and Help Room Volunteer (2017-present)
• Helped fellow students to understand electrical engineering course material by providing supplemental
instruction in the organization’s help room
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), Member and Projects Chair (2016-2017)
• Organized 38 students into ten technical project groups based on their individual skill sets
• Obtained approval for the purchase of project parts and distributed them to project leaders
• Updated board members on the progress and needs of the project groups at weekly board meetings
