Who Am I

Hello, I’m Dash. I’ve been working on engineering projects, coding projects, and 3D design for a few years now. I’m glad to be a member of WISRD as it allows me to combine my interests with my schoolwork. I’m interested in photography, many types of engineering, computer science, and 3D design and printing.

Wisrd General

Second lab review completed, working on collaborative physics x WISRD project, still running traffic simulations. Practiced sutures, will continue with this in the future. Will continue working on the physics thing, which is assembly of a small robot to demonstrate forces.

Review:


Our research question for this lab is: How can analyzing traffic data and other data points optimize travel and traffic in Los Angeles? No equipment has been acquired this year. We have implemented a basic traffic analysis program that uses data from an LA County traffic camera. By the end of the year, I would like to further refine the algorithm to improve the data we can collect and analyze. I plan to publish this data and provide further data analysis to hopefully improve overall traffic flow in LA.

Finished the first lab review and the first draft for the inquirer.

Lab Review:

The INSIGHT group (Intelligent Networks for Smart Integration of Global Human-centered Technologies) is researching how productivity and research effectiveness vary across search engines used to find sources. The equipment we have gotten this year is Donuts, cookies, M&Ms, & KitKats. We have used these as incentives for the general research project and as the main research topic in another Insight project. We have completed the preliminary testing, or proof of concept, so we can obtain administrators' approval for a larger research group. Our preliminary testing has shown promising results, which should help convince admins to grant approval. By the end of this year, we hope to, at the very least, have approval for a larger study group and, as a best-case scenario, have conducted a full-scale study. We plan to publish this data in the future as information.

Continuing ML Integration, calibrating the algorithm right now. Calibration takes a very long time. The basic program is running mildly well, though.

Traffic Camera ML Integration, working on preliminary ML algorithms with an open LA county traffic cam at https://wzmedia.dot.ca.gov/D8/LB-8_10_8.stream/playlist.m3u8. ML algorithm should run in Python without supervision.

Continuing research on neurotoxins, I started a small preliminary document about organophosphates & acetylcholine inhibitors

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LjS_XWH7-DGH2eLK2wDamPJnMjgBUfzK-Cw31VnL0eY/edit?usp=sharing

See doc for more details (I wrote too much today, so short journal entry)

Currently working on research for my Inquirerer article, which is on organophosphates, acetylcholine inhibitors, and neurotoxins. More future work in this semester will be on my new project about PCB substrates, which was mentioned in my previous journal entry. I intend to finish my research for Inquirerer before starting work again on my main project

Poster Session went well, now starting a new lab for finding a recyclable pcb substrate alternative to fiberglass. More info on this doc: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1k0MY4qSLt1JOQ6isnGkBDq24982rqjYaHT8aUSfScEY/edit?usp=sharing

Poster Session is tommorow so my journal will be updated again with that. Finished work on the INSIGHT poster and im all ready for the actual date.

Working on a CS project with a computer, need new antennas to proceed. Running Linux, but I need a new kernel until Ethernet works, and I need wifi to get a new kernel. So I'm getting wifi to make it work.

I also did many things previously, working on projects like RECON & INSIGHT. DMD went well. I worked with Viggo in the Tesla coil booth.

Working on DarkMatterDay booth, collected a sample of Sorren’s hair. Booth is heart rate collection and if i cant get my code to work im doing the wacky goggles.

Collected G-forces again with padding so it could be a real fall. Overall result is -3.91 g. Calculated using the same calculator with help from Sorren again for measurements.

Tested falling G-Forces peak forces on softened fall of my height -3.173 Gs. Would like to test padded full fall forces so I don’t need to soften the impact myself. https://www.omnicalculator.com/physics/g-force good calculator for my math. Thank you to Sorren for helping with measurements.

Again, continuing on this project, I looked up statistics on senior accidental fall deaths in the past few years, and there seem to be around 3 - 4 thousand deaths per month, according to the CDC. I'm going through more integration hell to get all my things to work together.

First couple of days of WISRD, enjoying it so far. Took apart a laptop for LCD diffusion layers, worked on making weird-looking goggles with that, and worked on my website.

Project Creation

Started my first project, which is an accessory that is on your wrist that detects irregular heart rhythms, heart attacks, hard falls, and other problems. This project could be used on anyone, but the premise is for people with heart conditions or mobility conditions, who are mostly people over the age of 60.

Project Creation

Continuing on my first project, I’ve got all of my materials and have started testing everything separately, such as my microcontroller, cellular board, and heart rate monitor. Im currently trying to get my cellular board to work with what I want to use it for, and it should work with a bit more trial and error.
