NCSU Projects and Code

This repository is a collection of the projects and other misc. computational work completed during the completion of my major in Nuclear Engineering and minor in Computer Programming.

SULI Summer Internship Project

• Implementation of a Multilayer Perception Deep Neural Network to solve an inverse problem to extend the capabilities of Eddy Current Flow Meters.
  • The project is written in python and uses the Keras and TensorFlow packages for the machine learning model.
• Journal Publication in Measurement Science and Technology for this work currently under review.

Courses Featured

• CSC 217: Software Development Fundamentals Lab (Java)
  • Lab Work: A course registration system.
• CSC 230: C and Software Tools (C)
  • Project 1: Shows the increasing accuracy of taylor series approximations as higher order terms are added to calculate the value of trig functions. Project also includes formatting of given text in a box of *'s.
  • Project 2: Interprets and evaluates basic algebraic expressions in base 10 and base 25.
  • Project 3: The game Wordle.
  • Project 4: A data base of employees, their skills and availability.
  • Project 5: Program for encoding and decoding txt files using bitwise operations.
  • Project 6: Implementation of a Hash Map with string keys and integer values.
• CSC 316: Data Structures and Algorithms (Java)
  • Course Work: Implementations of various data structures and algorithms.
  • Project: A trail manager designed to find all possible paths from a given starting location and the distance from the start location and then end location. Also includes a performance study based on changing the implementation of the data structures that are used.
• NE 301: Fundamentals of Nuclear Engineering (MATLAB)
  • Project 1: Numeric solution to decay equations for an arbitrary decay chain.
