I worked with students to assist in learning of class and lab material. My work included being available during lab hours to answer questions that students might have on lab exercises or class material, and giving lab check offs, in which I ensured that students sufficiently understood the material. I worked as an LA for multiple courses. Computation Structures-Fall 2012; Microcomputer Project Lab-Spring 2013, 2014; Power Electronics Lab-Fall 2013.

I represented my dorm community to the MIT community through various organizations (Undergraduate Association, Dormitory Council, MIT administrators), and worked with the dorm internally in a variety of ways. I ran biweekly house government meetings, arranged event programming, including dinners and talks with MIT faculty and administrators, and helped to organize large dorm events (Campus Preview Weekend, Residence Exploration weekend).

I worked at the human-computer interface company Synaptics Inc. as a systems intern. My work consisted of setting up and running different tests and simulations for various new and in progress technologies and systems, presenting these results, and discussing design modifications based on these results. Worked at an applications level.

Cascodium Inc. applies leading technologies to design and implement electronic systems for its clients in a wide range of industries. Systems may incorporate low-noise/high-bandwidth analog design, DSP/μC/FPGA digital processing, feedback control loops, sensor interfaces, power conversion, algorithm implementation, and graphical user interface design. Current application areas include bioaerosol detection, remote IR sensing of chemical agents, induction heating, wireless communications, radiation-tolerant space instrumentation, 3D sonar imaging, and high-performance data acquisition.
