Project:
Exploring
the Scalability of Distributed Computing Network (Chapman Scholar Senior Capstone Project,
2021-2022)
There
are two main goals for this project: First, explore the power of distributed
computing networks in computationally intensive problems. Second, create a
distributed computing network through HTCondor using the computer labs in the
ETCS building. This network is also configured with BOINC allowing it to
contribute to the World Community Grid.

Project:
Guardian IoT
Monitoring System (Sponsored by Purdue University Technical
Assistant Program Small Business Innovation Voucher Program, 2021)
In
this project, we worked with Guardian Machine Protection, LLC, to design,
implement, and test a hardware and software prototype of the Guardian Internet
of Things (IoT) remote machine monitoring system, with the goal of achieving
streamlined data sampling, display and analysis.
