Autonomous Drone
Spring 2023For my Robotics Systems class, I worked on a project involving the Parrot Mambo drone. Using Simulink and MATLAB, we explored drone kinematics and conducted simulations. By implementing a Kalman filter and image processing techniques, we improved the drone's stability and control. Notably, we achieved the drone's ability to autonomously follow a colored line with precision. This project honed my skills in UAV kinematics, Simulink modeling, image processing, and control systems, fueling my passion for robotics and autonomous technologies.
Embedded System : Missing Umbrella
Spring 2023
For our junior capstone, our team took on the challenge
of developing a PCB from scratch to control actuators and sensors. The endeavor showcased our diverse skill
set and collaborative approach. First and foremost, our proficiency in PCB designing allowed us to
create a customized and efficient board that seamlessly integrated with our mechatronics system.
Through meticulous microcontroller coding, we enabled precise control over the actuators and sensors,
ensuring a smooth and user-friendly experience. The entire engineering design process was diligently
followed, from concept ideation to prototyping and iterative improvements. Additionally, our keen eye for
component selection played a pivotal role in achieving optimal performance and cost-effectiveness.

Drawing Robot
November 2022
This robot was my final project for EGR455 class. This robotutilizes the capabilities
of the Arduino board, along with the IMU and encoders and actuators, to control the
movement of a drawing tool. The robot is programmed using MATLAB to take an image input and
create a path to draw the outline. The code uses image extractation tools provided by MATLAB
to generate a path that the robot can follow.

Self Balancing Bike
September 2022
The self-blancing bike uses centrifugal forces to balance itself and maintain stability, even
when subjected to external disturbances. This project utilizes the Arduino platform along with
sensors like accelerometers and gyroscopes, are used to detect the orientation of the bike, while
actuators, such as motors, are used to make adjustments to maintain balance. This project utilizes a PID controller
that is designed and optimized by the team. This project required a thorough understanding of programming,
electronics, and control systems, as well as the ability to integrate these components into a functional system.

Ocean Pollution Monitoring System
Fall 2021As a part of my final project for EGR 201, I designed an Ocean Pollution Monitoring System. The device is designed to be affordable (<$500) and smaller than a tablet. This device allows us to monitor the pollution levels in the water bodies and share that data with the appropriate authorities. The device has a built-in propeller and GPS so that it can move from one place to another and collect data from different sections of the water body if necessary. The device is solar-powered. To measure the pollution levels, the device deploys multiple sensors ranging from TDS to Ph and turbidity. By analyzing the data from these sensors we can determine what is the source of pollution and take action. link
Automated Soldering System
Spring 22
During spring 22, under the mentorship of Dr. Mariana Bertoni and Dr. Anoop Grewal,
I worked on an automated soldering system to solder Copper ribbons on Photovoltaic cells.
This was especially challenging since the copper ribbons were only 200 microns thick.
The project is funded by Grand Challenges Scholars Program Research Stipend. Using this
machine Defect Lab@ASU plans on studying the thermomechanical stresses induced by soldering.
The automated system helps provide uniform solder and thus helps in getting consistent data.
During this project, I gained extensive knowledge of PV cells and autonomous manufacturing.

Plastic Recycling System, Ethiopia
Fall 22
Collaborated with a team to design a Plastic Recycling System to solve the problem of plastic pollution in Debark, Ethiopia.
The solution consists of a shredder and an extruder. Using this the team plan on reducing the plastic pollution in
Debark region and recycling that plastic to make souvenirs to boost the local economy.
The project is in collaboration with Engineers Without Borders @ASU, Precious Plastics, and Simien Mountains Gelada Research Project.
The project will be completed by Fall23.

Analytical Study on Robotics Kits
As a part of my final project for EGR 104 (Critical Inquiry for Engineers), my team studied how robotics kits like LEGO Minstrom affect the mindset of high-school students towards the field of engineering. The study sheds light on how many members of the younger generations are interested or could become interested in robotics. It also shows where the schools can focus to further these interests and help students grow.
Smart Irrigation System
As a part of my final project for EGR 102 (Found of Engineering Design Project), my team designed a smart center-pivoted irrigation system for farms. The system adjusts the flow of water depending on the level of land to reduce water run-off.
Engineers Without Borders - international
The International Team is currently working to improve access to clean water resources for a small village called Naki in rural Eastern Kenya. In Naki, the most reliable source of drinking water is filling up buckets in cattle tanks (makeshift ponds) that are up to a mile away from the village. Since kids, mostly girls, are responsible for the chore of fetching drinking water, many won’t even have the chance to go to school. Additionally, the village is an agriculturally-based one, and struggling to have enough water may also mean struggling to have enough food. EWB International hopes that providing a more reliable access to clean drinking water may not only be good for their health, safety, and lifestyle, but also have positive economic and societal impacts as well.

Student Leader
As one of three Student Leaders in ASU's chapter of the National Academy of Engineering Grand Challenges Scholars Program (GCSP), I worked alongside the GCSP faculty and staff to plan and facilitate social and professional events for GCSP students. Essentially, my job was to help build the GCSP community and create additional value for all GCSP students through internal and external outreach.
Interdisciplinary Experience
As a part of my interdisciplinary experience, I took FSE 150 during fall 2020. The class was a great introduction to NAE’s Grand Challenges Scholars Program. This class by Dr. Trowbridge was a very fun and informative experience. It helped me gain perspective of how important all themes are and the overlap they have. The class had a perfect blend of guest lectures, case studies, discussions, and projects. It was these activities and lectures that made me select my theme.
