| ACADEMIC PROJECTS | |
| * | Fourth year project, “Content Centric Live Video Streaming System”
Worked in a team to create an open source video test-bed to stream video via the internet. This included working with standard C libraries, computer hardware and basic network programming. |
| * | Third year project, “Software Defined Radio for Cognitive Wireless Sensor Networks”
Developed MATLAB scripts to detect the status of ZigBee channels based on basic DSP techniques. Investigated use of Mini-Circuits mixer modules outside of their specified parameters. Tested against model and real data with good results. |
| PERSONAL PROJECTS | |
| * | Weather Station
Having an interest in weather led me to design and develop a data logger to record temperature, rainfall and sunlight. This was uploaded to a computer for long term trend analysis. |
| * | Nixie Clock
Designed and built a Nixie clock for a friend who had some old but stylish neon numerical indicators. This required me to design every aspect of the clock from the circuit and PCB, to the firmware used in the microcontroller. |
