### Hardware Design Intern @ Tufts University
Jan 2013 – Jan 2014 | Medford, MA
- Developed and designed the solution to eliminate the data transfer traffic challenges for mobile devices in indoor dual functionality (communication and illumination) settings using Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM). The technique delivered a higher aggregated data transfer rate by exploiting energy-efficient light-emitting diodes (LED) to construct a dual-purpose lighting system providing illumination control and optical wireless communication. 
- Designed and tested circuits and other electronic components; tested work and refined processes. Evaluated the effectiveness of the design and change if necessary. Estimated cost, reliability, and safety factors. Generated specifications for parts and control the efficiency of processes.Built, tested and modified product prototypes. 

Analyzed information and recommended appropriate hardware to users. Designed support peripherals, support logic, microprocessors,Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) and custom integrated circuits. Specified power supply requirements and configuration; retrieved data for analysis of system capabilities.
