Engineering Case Studies
Magnetic Thin Films on Flexible Substrates
Conventional rigid substrates limit applications of spintronic devices in wearable and biomedical systems. Flexible polymer substrates introduce challenges in film adhesion, stress management, and magnetic property retention under mechanical bending.
Optimize DC magnetron sputtering parameters to deposit FeCo/CoFe thin films on polyimide/PET substrates with controlled magnetic anisotropy and minimal substrate-induced degradation.
ESP32-CAM Wireless Digital Microscope
Commercial digital microscopes are expensive ($200-2000) and lack wireless streaming capability for remote material inspection in laboratory settings.
Design a low-cost (<$50) portable digital microscope using ESP32-CAM module with real-time wireless image streaming and adjustable optical parameters for material surface inspection.
PID-Controlled Line Follower Robot
Basic line follower robots using simple threshold detection fail on curved tracks, intersections, and varying surface reflectivity, limiting their use in industrial material transport.
Design an autonomous line-following robot using PID control algorithm with IR sensor array for accurate path tracking on complex track geometries.
RTL Digital Logic Core Development
Need for verified digital logic cores for educational FPGA prototyping of basic signal processing and control systems.
Develop and functionally verify RTL modules including finite state machines, ALU, and serial communication interfaces using Verilog HDL.
