Projects

A selection of some of my projects across various domains.

Whatsapp Summariser

Open Icon

This project was designed to simplify the process of reading WhatsApp messages. Inspired by Google Chat Summariser, this project can read WhatsApp texts, then use Google Gemini' to obtain a summary of the texts.

Web-scraping Artificial Intelligence

UART Driver for Arduino ATMega

Open Icon

Initially part of a larger project, this project is a template reusable for future projects, for when there is a need for serial communication between the microcontroller and another device via the TX/RX 1 pins.

Hardware Driver Microcontroller

Manim Animation

Open Icon

This project was a delve into mathematical visualisation, and an opportunity to explain physical and mathematical concepts visually using a structured API called Manim.

Python Object Oriented Programming

Smart Water Tap Webapp

Open Icon

Initially part of a friend's project, this web application is a quick mockup of a potential app to track water usage. The app allows connection to an Arduino UNO's serial interface for real-time data monitoring.

A selection of some of my research work across various fields of study.

Synthesis and Properties of Chitin-Derived Hydrogels

Open Icon

This research focuses on the synthesis and characterization of a hydrogel derived from chitin which was obtained from crabs. The hydrogel's ability to adsorb heavy metal ions and various dyes from water was also investigated.

Organic Chemistry Environmental Science

Optimised Numerical Methods for the Computation of Particles in Fusion Hotspots and Particle Interactions in Magnetized Liner Inertial Fusion (MagLIF)

Open Icon

This project proposes a novel approach to optimising the computation of particle interactions in fusion hotspots and in Magnetized Liner Inertial Fusion (MagLIF). Using the Barnes Hut Algorithm, a more efficient method for simulating these interactions was introduced.

Plasma Physics Particle Physics Computational Physics

Synthesising and Comparing the Microplastic Degradation Efficiencies of Magnetically Removable Bismuth Based Microswimmers

Open Icon

This research focuses on a modified synthesis and subsequent characterization of magnetically removable self-propelling BiVO4 and Bi2WO6 microswimmers and their efficiency in degrading microplastics via Advanced Oxidative Processes.

Optimisation of Continuous Development from Flatsat to 3D Cubesat – A Novel Over-the-Air Solution

Open Icon

This research validates the use of Over-The-Air (OTA) reprogramming and debugging to eliminate the need to deconstruct working hardware, thus eliminating points of failure, and significantly decreasing development time while keeping costs low.
