Professional Experience
Undergraduate Researcher
NSF HAMMER-ERC
Undergraduate Researcher (NSF REU Program) at HAMMER-ERC, North Carolina A&T State University. Participated in a multidisciplinary research rotation focused on automation, advanced manufacturing, materials science, and neuroengineering. Developed a self-driving car prototype by integrating LiDAR and depth camera inputs with AI-based object detection (YOLOv10n) for real-time collision avoidance, utilizing NVIDIA Jetson and Arduino platforms for sensor fusion and edge computing. Gained hands-on experience in robotics, embedded systems, and AI deployment. Transitioned to the FORT IRC labs to operate a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) for grain structure analysis, learned sample preparation and polishing, observed Wire EDM machining, and observed the use of DEFORM software for material simulation, deepening my understanding of engineering and materials science. In Dr. Yun's lab, fabricated PDMS-based microfluidic chips using soft lithography, built an Arduino-controlled fluid pumping system, performed cell cultures with human neural stem cells, and began designing custom microfluidic devices for brain trauma research, focusing on BioMEMS and neuroengineering for the remainder of the program.
Research Assistant
QRDI Council
Served on Work Package 2 (Signal Processing) of the UREP31-088-2-028 project, "Control of Environmental Noise from Road Traffic: a Web-Based User Interface." Focused on analyzing measured traffic-noise data by applying frequency-domain processing techniques, weighting functions, and benchmarking results against international noise guidelines (e.g., FTA). Collaborated closely with WP1 students collecting field measurements and provided processed datasets to WP3 for integration into the project's web-based platform. Employed MATLAB and related software tools to extract, visualize, and interpret acoustical metrics that help illustrate the effects of noise-control measures such as barriers or double-glazed windows. This role reinforced my technical skills in signal processing and deepened my understanding of environmental noise control strategies.
Research Intern
Qatar University
Participated in Qatar University's summer research internship focusing on "Experimental Evaluation of a Carbon Dioxide Capture Device for Automotive Exhaust Emissions." Gained insight into heat engine theory, investigated factors influencing engine performance and efficiency, and contributed to hands-on experimental setups.
Freelancer
Voltaat
Developed Arduino-based prototypes and 3D models to fulfill project commissions from external businesses, ensuring designs met client-specific requirements. In addition, created bilingual (English/Arabic) user manuals to accompany Voltaat Store's DIY kits.
Intern
Voltaat
Developed 3D modeling skills in Onshape to design custom engineering solutions and programmed Arduinos to fulfill electrical engineering requests from local companies and university teams. Strengthened rapid prototyping abilities and gained hands-on experience in both mechanical and electronic design processes.
