High Power Laser Turret

Designed, built, and tested a 115W 450nm Laser array turret platform with automated tracking and engagement using computer vision and automatic focal length adjustment

3D Printed Stealth Drone

I am desiging and testing a custom 3D printed drone that I have designed with low observability in mind. For this particular portfolio item, I will not show images until it is complete as to keep particular fabrication and assembly techniques to myself. The drone makes use of multiple well known and some sparsely known stealth techniques, and will undergo testing at various radar frequencies.

Rocket Avionics Bay

Designed, built, and tested a custom 3D printed avionics bay and parachute release system for a L1 and L2 rocket

Magnetron Sputterer

Designed and built a Magnetron Sputterer from scrap microwave parts for the purpose of thin film deposition and crude semiconductor manufacturing

Sonic Phased Array

Designing and building a phased array for 40KHz ultrasonic transducers for use in drone to map its environment with a sonic beam

BEAM Chaos Bot

Designed, built, and tested a robot that would follow a Chaotic acoustic source and only that source. Chaotic signal from beacon would be hidden in the noise floor of most detectors, allowing the robot to navigate without its beacon being detectable. Featured on UAH news

talks

Rapid Prototyping and Engineering Applications

Published:

This talk was given on the request of the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at the University of Alabama in Huntsville for the course EGR 109. In attendance where 8 electrical engineering students, the Associate Dean of Undergraduate affairs, and the Associate Department chair of ECE. The talk focused on rapid prototyping, its definition, applications, and implementaions. The talk focused on 3D modeling/printing and PCB design and its relevance to the field of electrical engineering.

PCB Design Fundamentals with KiCAD

Published:

This talk was given to the University of Alabama in Huntsville student chapter of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). The talk focused on PCB fundamentals, why they are important, and how to use tools like KiCAD to turn schematics into PCBs. Talk ended with a follow along demo for the students where they designed their own schematic and PCB using KiCAD. Demonstrated addition capabilities of open source software, including auto-routing toolchains.

Introduction to Stealth Technology

Published:

This talk was given to the University of Alabama in Huntsville student chapter Eta Kappa Nu, the Electrical Engineering Honors Society. The talk focused on the fundamentals of stealth technology, such as radar principles, radar cross section calculations and reduction techniques, and other signature reduction techniques.
