Explore the Cutting-Edge of Satellite Technology in Our Latest IEEE GLOBECOM Paper! Dive into our groundbreaking research on Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite networks, where we delve into the challenges and innovations in utilizing Inter-Satellite Links (ISL) for lower delays and enhanced efficiency. Our paper focuses on the critical balance between minimizing delay and conserving power in LEO satellites, which are uniquely dependent on solar energy. We meticulously analyze various satellite constellation types and network topologies, introducing a novel power-efficient design. Discover our insightful comparison of three major satellite architectures – the theoretical random constellation, the widely-used Walker-Delta, and the Walker-Star constellations. Understand how our proposed algorithm optimizes energy efficiency without significantly impacting delay performance, marking a significant advancement over traditional ISL paths. Get a glimpse into the future of satellite communication and its potential to revolutionize global connectivity!

For my final year undergraduate was to develop an autonomous wheelchair intended for people with upper-body disabilities such as ALS, spinal cord injuries and other neurological conditions. People with these types of disabilities cannot use a joystick thus have to resort to getting pushed around or using other available technologies to manoeuvre in the environment. 

The outcome of this project was an autonomous wheelchair using perception sensors which is capable of taking voice commands from a user and then automatically carrying its occupant to their desired location avoiding any obstacles along its path.

The prototype was presented at the Royal Children’s Hospital (Melbourne), in front of four doctors and five therapists in connection with the projects industry partners the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute. The design received positive feedback and recognition for its potential.
