Academic Exploration

Maker Space

Open makers space; educate others on how to create/execute projects; learned three skills: electronics, IOT, computer-aided design (CAD); three additional skills: drones, VR, PCB design; each skill takes 10 hours each; after learning three fundamental skills, invited to join residency program in Goa; spent 10 hours each day in the space there; divided into groups of 4 and tasked to create project based around one of the SDGs; planned and constructed app-controlled river cleaning device (fourth iteration ended up being final prototype); future project acceleration program potentially to bring product to market.

University of Chicago - Summer Immersion Program

Took a course on the 'Physics of Stars' and received a grade of A- and 100 credits for performance in the course. Engaged in an in-depth study of stellar structure theories, encompassing the life cycle of stars, the birth of supernovae and black holes, as well as the integration of particle physics and quantum theory in exploring unified quantum gravity. Participated in laboratory experiments to measure the solar constant and understand the concept of flux. Utilized the Hertzsprung-Russell (H-R) Diagram for studying various star clusters. Employed specialized software for data analysis, gaining insights into astronomical trends and patterns. Developed Python simulations to model planetary orbits around stars, demonstrating an understanding of gravitational field strength, orbital radius, and velocity and their impact on orbital paths.

Arduino Prototyping Course from John Hopkins University

Engaged in a refresher Arduino course offered by the Centre for Talented Youth Program (CTY). Gained proficiency in using Arduino starter pack, enhancing skills in circuitry and programming. Developed competencies in writing Arduino code and running simulations using Fritzing software. Designed and built a main project that involved creating a device capable of detecting dogs entering a restricted area. Demonstrated problem-solving skills and creativity in designing a practical solution for real-world challenges.
