About Me

I am a self-directed engineer actively building within signal processing, VLSI & ASIC design, and field-based device physics in the context of semiconductors, robotics and autonomous systems, and machine learning.

My approach to engineering is fundamentally first-principled and implementation-level, focused on building performant, scalable, and valuable proprietary systems.

Formally-Verified Multi-Mode Digital Timepiece — Feature-Layered SystemVerilog RTL on Cyclone V FPGA

A multi-mode digital timepiece — settable clock, lap-capable stopwatch, editable countdown timer, and PWM brightness control — implemented as fully synchronous RTL and taken through a complete industry-representative flow: lint-clean SystemVerilog, cocotb/pytest regression, k-induction formal proof of every sequential submodule, Quartus synthesis and place-and-route, and gate-level netlist inspection. Built by feature layering (Watch V1→V4) from small, parametrised, single-responsibility modules, with correctness treated as a first-class deliverable rather than an afterthought.

Broadband Amplitude-shift Keying Transceiver

A broadband ASK modulation–demodulation transceiver taking analog design from theory to a debugged hardware prototype. The chain integrates a BJT series-switch mixer, a high-Q multiple-feedback bandpass filter, a Gilbert-cell four-quadrant multiplier, and a Schmitt-trigger decision device — each characterised in the frequency domain and validated from SPICE to hardware, emphasising working with device non-idealities rather than suppressing them.

Electromagnetic Device Modelling for High-frequency Semiconductor Applications

Field-based modelling track spanning vector integro-differential descriptions, to hardware-validated high-frequency power electronics, building electromagnetic device models from open-ended physical phenomena rather than lumped-circuit abstractions. Work spans analytical field derivations, visualisation tool development, and SPICE-to-breadboard validation — each result cross-checked against symmetry arguments, closed-form solutions, and measured waveforms rather than accepted from a single method.

Planetary Rover Science Payload — Precision Gantry & ISRU Instrument Integration (Unimelb Rover Team)

Co-developed the science-payload motion and integration hardware for a planetary-analogue rover: a precision gantry providing stable linear translation and repeatable positioning for a spectrometer, focused imaging module, and regolith-preparation brush and drill. Engineered through the late-design and manufacturing stages of the 2025–26 development cycle, under strict mass, volume, and competition-rule constraints — where positioning repeatability and vibration isolation directly bound measurement quality for in-situ resource analysis.

Ti-6Al-4V Prosthetic Hip Implant — Structural Simulation, Failure Analysis & Mass Optimisation

A finite-element study spanning hand-derived stiffness formulation, MATLAB PDE solvers, and CAD-based simulation — validating each result across analytical, numerical, and commercial-solver methods. Work covers 2D truss FEM from first principles, Kirsch hole stress-concentration verification, and a full design–analyse–optimise loop on a prosthetic hip implant, emphasising mesh convergence and physically-grounded boundary conditions over black-box solver output.
