Projects

A partial list of projects that I have worked on, I am working on, and I am thinking about.

Former:

  • MEng Thesis. A flexible high-density sensor network. Done with the Responsive Environments Group of the MIT Media Lab.
  • Tourbot. A robotic tour guide for MIT.
  • Facebook relational data privacy analysis. Email me for details. (Updated: Actually, read our paper online.)
  • Junction file transfer.
  • System administrator and sometime-developer for the Global System for Sustainable Development ( GSSD ).
  • Boy Scout Eagle project. I built a 12'x8' bird-watching observation deck 6' off the ground in a marsh for my Eagle Scout project at Clyde Shepherd Nature Preserve. Hopefully, I'll find/take pictures and upload them as well.

Ideas

  • Make your own plaid: A tool that allows a user to create his/her own styles and colors of plaids.
  • Build an ant farm into a computer monitor frame. (Maybe Dinsha's idea.)
  • Replace all incandescent light bulb displays in Las Vegas with LEDs.
  • Radio stations broadcast using very high power. You might be able to actuate some ultra-low power electronic circuits distributed in the nearby environment of a transmitter with this energy. You may also even be able to store it in a capacitor.
  • Write a children's story about ants that use their antenae for radio.
  • A funny thing: Donner Seuss. A picture of the Cat in the Hat with a leg sticking out of his mouth.
  • Lamp shades really use up a lot of energy. Their primary purpose is to diffuse light. Put on a power harvester to re-claim the energy that lamp shades use.
  • I wonder if what your handedness is influences the distribution of cavities in your mouth. For example, if you're left-handed are you more likely to have cavities on the right side of your mouth?
