Purdue Projects: Hardware, Firmware, and Data Analysis

These are all the key projects that I worked on during my time at Purdue. Highlighting my experience and interest in hardware design, embedded firmware, and data analysis.

USB full-speed bulk-transfer module

I designed, implemented, and verified a SystemVerilog SoC peripheral for USB full-speed bulk-transfer endpoint support on an AHB-Lite-based SoC. The module included a USB 1.0 transceiver, receiver, and data buffer.

2048 on a STM32

I built 2048 for an STM32 microcontroller using the ARM v6-M architecture. The game included keypad controls, scorekeeping, and LEDs for lives. Its board renderer reloaded only moved objects to minimize CPU use.

MOOCs prediction analysis

Working with the MOOCs data set, the goal was to predict whether a user would be correct on their first attempt at a question.

A Gaussian-mixture clustering model (GMM) was developed and utilized to predict average and individual quiz performance.
