Projects

Variable Independent Pressure System

Designed an apparatus that simulates the internal conditions of the body that can be used when developing medical devices. Implemented a pressure measurement system using two pressure transducers and an Arduino microcontroller. Generated an application in Python that displayed the pressure values of the inlet and outlet of the system and warned the user of pressure drops in the system.

Details

Conditional Colocalization
Graphical User Interface

Built an application using MATLAB that helped scientists analyze microscope images. Helped to reduce the chances of user error caused by incorrectly inputted data. Created an algorithm that read in multiple files and automatically displayed and plotted the results.
