SimInhale — particle deposition in the human airway using turbulence modelling

Models turbulent fluid flow through human airway geometry, then couples it with a Lagrangian particle-tracking approach to identify deposition patterns and fractions within the geometry.

Semi-autonomous, gesture-controlled maze-solving robot

• Built a semi-autonomous, gesture-controlled robot around an ATmega16 microcontroller.
• Gestures were resolved from an accelerometer and a magnetometer.
• Omni drive for movement, sonar for wall detection, and a servo to rotate the sonar.

Uncovering the nucleus of large networks

• Implemented Uncovering the nucleus of social networks (Braulio Dumba, Zhi-Li Zhang) in Python using NetworkX.
• Tested across several datasets and compared against degree, eigenvector, betweenness and closeness centrality.

Coal outsourcing price calculator for e-reverse-auctioning

• Determines the coal outsourcing price for a range of inputs.
• Calculates the minimum sustainable price at which a project can be fulfilled, accounting for potential hazards and the cost of closure.
• Helps companies avoid bidding at unsustainable values.
