I'm Rebecca, an electrical engineering student building embedded, digital, and hardware systems.
Supporting cleanroom laboratory operations, equipment setup, maintenance, and technical processes for micro- and nanoscale mechanical systems research.
Leading electrical architecture for a tunnel boring machine across power distribution, motor and actuator control, sensing, embedded systems, and integration.
Developed hardware test systems for CAN/LIN devices, designed LTspice test circuitry, and performed hardware verification, troubleshooting, and validation documentation.
Prepared test samples, performed 500+ standardized polymer-film tests, and analyzed results to support material validation and performance reporting.
Designed and implemented three 16-bit adder architectures in SystemVerilog: ripple-carry, carry-lookahead, and carry-select. Built a hierarchical 4×4 CLA using propagate/generate logic, wrote testbenches to verify the designs, and compared their critical-path timing in Vivado.
Built a 3D-printed robotic hand for UIUC BMES and Engineering Open House. A wearable glove uses five flex sensors to measure finger movement, while an Arduino controls five servos to reproduce those movements on the robotic hand in real time.
Developed an Arduino-based mobile rover that detects obstacles using ultrasonic time-of-flight sensing. Programmed reactive movement logic so the rover could interpret distance measurements and change direction to navigate around nearby objects.
Developed a wearable biomedical device concept for monitoring maternal and placental blood flow. Worked on the sensing and electrical architecture, including optical sensing methods, low-power system design, KiCad schematics, and how measurements would connect to a mobile interface.
Designed and built a restaurant website to make menu information, restaurant details, and ordering easier to navigate. Focused on straightforward page organization, responsive front-end design, and an interface that could be easily updated as restaurant information changed.
