Calculus & Chemistry Tutor, Bucknell University
I work to optimize clients’ educational experience. I focus on teaching organizational, test taking, and study skills. I often explain concepts from multiple viewpoints, depending on students’ needs and background, in order to facilitate the learning experience. (Academic Years 2008-2009, 2009-2010, 2010-Present)
Projects:
Senior Design (Fall 2010-Spring 2011)
The project entails working with an anesthesiologist at Geisinger hospital and a faculty mentor in order to develop a novel medical device. The project involves the whole design process, from initial research to prototype development. The group is currently refining a new method for the removal of microemboli from a heart lung bypass machine. Groups in the past have filed for patents on their devices.
Syringe Pump Design (Fall 2010)
I led a group of three engineers in a design project challenge to create a syringe pump that delivered 6 cc/min over ten minutes with both monetary and supply restraints. We designed a prototype device and worked as a team to optimize the product. Our team, under my leadership, was able to complete the project on budget and within the required deadlines. Our team’s final device won awards for overall best and most creative.
Utilization of Artificial Neural Networks to Process EEG Signals (Fall 2010 – Spring 2011)
The project goal is to allow a user to control a device, such as a computer mouse or a prosthetic limb by processing EEG signals. I have developed the acquisition software, collection algorithms, and basic processing algorithms. I am currently working to refine the signal and network architecture.
Processing of EEG Signals with LABVIEW to Control a Motor (Spring 2010)
Our group created an algorithm to process EEG & EMG signals which allowed a user to voluntarily control the direction of an external motor. The project was featured on the front page of Bucknell’s website as an example of how ambitious, high-risk, novel projects can succeed with focused efforts.
