Graduate Research Assistant
01/1998 - 09/2000
University of Minnesota
Minneapolis, Mn
 Implementation of front view and rear view (mirror view) driver assisting display for a
moving vehicle in real time. Software implemented on 2 separate platforms – low level
graphics on Neutrino and OpenGL using MFC. Project involved PC 104 hardware based
serial port communication with Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS) receiver,
inter-vehicle communication using spread spectrum transmitters and network
communication to access radar data and geographical information system. (Video demos
on home page).
 Evaluation and comparison of Honeywell and Andrews magnetometers for autonomous
vehicle navigation using real time operating system VxWorks.
 Teaching Assistant for the ME 5271 Robotics course. Maintained the class web page,
taught real time operating systems, graphics and networking concepts and helped students
with their course project. Gave a two-hour lecture on real time operating system concepts,
which was broadcast via satellite to classrooms in the industry.
