clUBs: An application to connect students and clubs
My team and I have created an application prototype that can provide a platform for students to connect and participate alongside various clubs here at the University at Buffalo (UB). This application will connect the student using their UB-IDs to explore trending clubs, browse through various categories of clubs and contact the ones that interest them. Also through our application, they can sign up or simply be interested in various events. In either case, the event will be updated in our user-customized in-built calendars that will notify the user 2 hours, 4 hours or a full day before the upcoming event depending on their choice. |
NFC-Pay: Platform for NFC-based transaction
In this project, My team and I envisioned creating an application prototype that can provide a platform for merchants and consumers to seamlessly process transactions using NFC-based technology. Our aim with this project was to provide the merchants with inexpensive NFC chips linked with our servers. When the merchant initiates a transaction all the customer had to do was tap their device on the receiver and the payment would be processed. For customers without an NFC device, a QR code can be generated that would process the transaction through a standard QR code scanner without significant loss in security. In this project, I was responsible for scoping out our vision and creating an user-end prototype of our model. |
Wind Turbine Project
In this project, My team and I were given a box with certain building materials that had to be used to create an efficient wind turbine. We tested different materials under different circumstances with a different setting for the turbine to help us figure out by experimentation which conditions according to our theories gave us the best results. Through consistent experimentation, we were able to create the best turbine in our section. Furthermore, we had to conduct a mock presentation for a panel of experts to receive grants for further research. This helped me to not only understand the concepts and theories required in making a wind turbine but also how to market the device. |
WAFFLE Project
Water As Fuel For Load Energy (WAFFLE) Project, was a project created to provide solutions for a current engineering problem, that can have major implications on our planet. This project represents a switch from traditional sources of energy such as coal or petroleum to saltwater. Given brine water's high conductivity; the process subjects it to electrolysis to break the water down into Hydrogen and Oxygen. The Hydrogen will be then combusted and propagated using Oxygen to provide maximum energy yield, with no harmful byproducts. In this project, I was responsible for calculating the expected energy yield for a given amount of saltwater, creating a GANTT chart to map the expected project timeline and co-designing the system to be used. |
