I did an internship at NASA Langley Research Center. I implemented a digital signal processing algorithm in VHDL to get more precise measurements out of their new vibrating beam accelerometers. Mentor said I was “1st in the world” to do so.Enjoy

I like talking about our awesome planet, doing engineering, and making music. And of course, DRAGONS!!!🐉🐉🐉
Nature is my tripod :)

3) the goal of my project was to use a field programmable gate array (imagine programming transistors/logic gates to program the hardware) to take the frequency measurements, and implement an algorithm to decode it for more precise measurements. Then, I used a microcontroller to do the calculations + output.

2) they were using these massive counting machines to measure this frequency. This is not only realistic because they were these massive heavy boxes but also imprecise (not enough significant figures), meaning they couldn’t tell whether it was good enough for research/production. It was milliHz vs need microHz

1) existing accelerometers (which measure angles, in their space ships, robots, etc) are quality, but my mentors developed an new type of accelerometer that could be better. It uses lasers pointed at a plate. This plate moves with gravitational force creating frequency readings converted to acceleration to angles

Tysm you too reach out to that XR lab asap homie

Good to know. So didn't you finish? Care to share?

Didn’t end up finishing, but outcomes good. Interns are valued. Good work environment. Work hard, play hard.

What's was your research outcome and how were the people working with you were like. I'm referring to their attitude towards am intern.
