Projects & Research

Measurement, experimentation, and practical investigations, connected to real human needs.

Arduino-Based IV Warming System

Pioneer Research Program · Mentor: Professor Carlotta Berry

A bench prototype exploring heat transfer and temperature regulation: three DS18B20 sensors, PWM heating, and combined feedforward and PI control warm IV fluid toward 37°C, with monitoring and alarms built in.

Bench prototype; not clinically validated or tested against medical-device standards.

Demonstrated regulation
±1°C

Unmanned Water Quality Monitoring and Treatment Vessel

Independent project

A self-built vessel that measures turbidity and dissolved solids in real time, logs data, collects floating debris, and carries targeted chemical-dispensing mechanisms. Tested on a real waterway, it connects environmental measurement with a practical response.

Turbidity and TDS are partial indicators; open-water chemical treatment needs further environmental assessment.

Assistive Technology Prototypes

Four independently developed prototypes

Four independent prototypes exploring sensing and practical feedback: a posture vest; a sleep-apnea vibration alert; a wearable AI sign-language translator; and a muscle-relaxation device for rehabilitation support.

Early prototypes, informally tested; no clinical evaluation or user deployment. Sign-language vocabulary is limited and was not tested with Deaf signers; muscle-relaxation effectiveness is unmeasured.

Deepfake Scams Targeting Older Adults in China

Research course · Team lead and first author

I led a six-person team studying AI-generated deepfake fraud aimed at older adults in China, combining interviews with a review of detection methods. 18-page paper, first author.

Exploratory interviews, limited in number and region; not representative.
