"The Armadillo" Multi-track Audio Recorder
The multi-track audio recorder is a project motivated by the Senior Design Capstone course through Ohio University. With a team of three other students, the goal of this project was to fully research, design, build, and test a working prototype of a multi-track digital audio recorder that can simultaneously record multiple individual audio signals by April 5th, 2019 (given a start date of August 2018).

Acropolis - Disney Imaginations 2017
"Imaginations is a design competition created and sponsored by Walt Disney Imagineering with the purpose of seeking out and nurturing the next generation of diverse Imagineers." - https://disneyimaginations.com/about-imaginations/what-is-imaginations/
My contribution consisted of the technology research, historical research, and attraction design. |
Story Behind the Design
Consider for a moment the symbolic power of light. If we consider darkness to be a metaphor for a lack of knowledge, then light is exactly the opposite. Light is knowledge, creativity, and progress. It is a visual representation of the power that innovative minds have to both literally and metaphorically shape our future. This is the idea at the core of The Acropolis Center. The Acropolis Center is named after the highest point in Athens, Greece, upon which the Parthenon sits. Radar Hill is, similarly, the highest point in Athens, Ohio. Much as the Parthenon was a great source of pride for ancient Athenians, so too will the Acropolis Center be for the community of Athens, Ohio. This center will serve, symbolically, as a lighthouse; shining an ever visible beam through the darkness, leading people towards a brighter future. |
User/Guest Experience
At the Acropolis Center, community members, university students, and inquisitive young minds have the opportunity to learn the inspirational power of the sciences by interacting with light in many forms. Guests are welcome to take a relaxing stroll around the Radiant Rooftop Garden, see the world from a new perspective in the Lighter than Air Balloon, and experience creativity brought to life in the Cosmic Illustrations Light Show. For particularly curious guests, the Light Writers, and Laser Linkers workshops offer opportunities for interactive learning and inspiration, with everything guests create being displayed in the Bright Ideas Gallery and Museum. Guests participating in the Cosmic Creations workshop will see the realization of their creative potential quite literally projected into the night sky, among the stars, as part of the Cosmic Illustrations Light Show. |
