fun projects with matt
510k medical device project
As a part of a Biomedical Engineering course here at TAMU, my team and I undertook a project that would introduce to us the medical device design process as well as the various intricacies of verifying, validating, and implementing a medical device through the FDA and market approval.
We chose a class II medical device -- an artificial hip replacement -- with many predicates to 'plan' for. We outlined the process of taking our theoretical engineering firm from start to finish of redesigning this device: (1) Establishing clinical indication and substantial equivalence through interviews with professionals and patient stakeholders, (2) identifying user requirements, (3) transforming them into design inputs/engineering specifications, (4) verifying design outputs following iterative design, (5) validation of meeting user requirements, and finally holding a design review with our professor at the end. To the left is given the Design & Development plan that I was project head in establishing with my group.
ECG Coding project
Taken as an Honors course in the Fall of 2017, I undertook a project that involved creating a code for an ECG interpreter from the ground up in three languages: MatLab, LabView, and Python
This program had to be able to take a txt or xlx input of millivoltage readings from an ECG, extrapolate the heart rate, and diagnosis the patient, displaying separately how many discrete values the data was based on, what time discrepancy existed between the points, and the lead of input data recording.
I had loads of fun on this project! It was fascinating to not only study electrical cardiology in great detail, but to problem solve in ways that forced arithmetic and numerical solutions to come into play in medical problems.
Above should show (1) a photo of the first User Interface app I designed in MatLab, (2) a photo of what the code looked like in LabView, (3) an example User Manuel written for the Python code, which was similar to that of MatLab. For the LabView code, note that the design is supposed to be similar to an electrical circuit; each of the wires represents a mode of unidirectional transfer of a single type of information.
This project was one of the hardest projects I've ever undertaken, and I couldn't have been more proud of how my code performed. Data testing records from the end of the Python User Manual will demonstrate accuracy of up to 99.625% after subjection to about 1600 randomized data files.
microethnographic research paper
As a part of an Honors Course Contract that I drafted and signed with Matthew DelCiampo, PhD., for a music/anthropology class, I was assigned to research a local music group, studying how the culture of their members manifested itself in their musical style and choice. The word docx attached contains the "professional" ethnology that was produced as a result of this semester-long research study.
In addition to the Honors coursework I'd established between the professor and me, the regular classwork required a documentary, similar to my professional ethnography, also in the study of a local music group. This group project fell right within the bounds of the group that I already was studying on my own and permitted me to lead my team to produce the attached video.
general engineering - lego project
For second semester freshman engineers, the infamous LEGO project is issued to teams of 7-8. Its intent is to, through challenges and trials, weather introductory engineers into not only team players but driven students themselves.
The project's tasks were to create a robot that could intake about 75 marbles, sort them by size and color into different bins and retrieve them in the order mandated by a given barcode, read by your robot.
Over the course of the semester, I coordinated with my team in order to produce the solid piece of construction seem on the left. It is, of course, a relative solidity, but I am proud of the leaps my team made in the course of our journey together, and we've all learned plentifully.
need some blood - md anderson blood drive psa
Volunteering at the MD Anderson Blood Drive as their staff rotated through all the local high schools to take donations, I was made aware of their patients' dire need for donors. In my research, I found that MD Anderson in Houston was having a contest for media PSAs for the drive, and this was what resulted.
The song is written as a parody of Ed Sheeran's I'm a Mess and placed among its competitors in the top few to even receive scholarship money as an added benefit.
