Atlas - A GPS Cycling Computer - In Build (March 2021)
I started cycling over the summer of 2020 out of nesscessity. As I traveled further and further, my confidence improved and found a lot of enjoyment in being out and exploring on the bike. One barrier is that navigation while on the road is not always easy, so I’m building something to help with that. Read More

Swansong - A Fixed-Wing Flight Controller - In Build (Febuary 2021)
Biologically Inspired Robotics is a module in which; in a small team, we are tasked with designing and building a robotic system which can demonstrate some inspiration from nature. The team is designing a glider with a deployable wings in order to reduce drag during a vertical launch. I designed Swansong to be a development platform for the brains of the glider. Read More

AVA

AVA - Ai Vector Accelerator - Completed (January 2021)
The first semester of my Master’s involved a large group design project, our task was to create a hardware accelerator for AI tasks targeting the low-power CV32E40P RISC-V core designed by the OpenHW group.
The design implememented a minimal subset of the RISC-V ‘V’ Vector specification and acheived a 5x speed-up in TinyMLPerf compared to a non-vectorised runtime. Read More
