I love bringing ideas to life through designs and simulations. Design to me is the cross-section of engineering and the arts, and simulation the bridge between the virtual world of design and the real-world.

Course
Digital Logics & its Lab (ELEE 2640 & 2650
Overview
Counters such as 74ls93 are sequential circuits which can be designed with JK flip-flops and simulated using the Quartus application. These sequential circuits go through a defined sequence of states upon the application of input impulses.
Designed with
1. System Verilog
2. VHDL
3. Quartus Prime
Performed
1. Recreated the counter using System Verliog and VHDL on the Quartus prime software.
2. A JK flipflop was developed and then used as a module incorporated 4 times to produce the counter and achieve its functionality.
3. Performed a simulation testing the Counter IC design, achieving the same results as specified by the manufacturer truth table.

Course
Control Systems (ENGR 4220)
Developed with
1. Simulink
2. MATLAB
Overview
The field-controlled DC motor has a constant armature voltage (ea) constant, and its speed the speed is controlled by varying the strength of the magnetic field. This is controlled by the field voltage (ef) . The armature circuit has a back emf due to the rotation of the armature. However, the field circuit is stationary; so it has no back emf.
Performed
1. Derived a non-linear differential equation model from the schematic
2. Used Simulink to create a model and simulation
3. Loaded values of constants in the model from a MATLAB script
4. With Matlab some of the simulation results were formatted
