Real Time Solver for Model Predictive Control
(2020)Model Predictive Control (MPC) has begun to receive significant attention as a tool in real-time solver applications, as the betterment of technology and algorithms have allowed it to have a much faster operation time. ... -
Recessed electrode contacts to minimize tissue damage from deep brain stimulation
(2021)Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a well-established method of treatment for neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s disease and essential tremor. A DBS electrode is surgically implanted and applies voltage pulses ... -
Redesigning Creative Coding Education for Beginner Programmers
(2020)The intent for this project was to improve the learning experience of first-time programmers by designing a learner-centered online resource for creative coding (applied programming in the arts) in p5.js. While there are ... -
Resveratrol Derivatives to Pass the Blood Brain Barrier
(2015)The Krebs cycle contains several carboxylic acid intermediates that have been found in observable levels in the brain. In this study, resveratrol is conjugated to different Krebs cycle intermediates to investigate whether ... -
