About Me

Hey! I am an alumni from University of Southern California, Los Angeles - California, with Master's in Medical Device and Diagnostic Engineering. I am interested in the field of Instrumentation and Electronics Engineering. I have had a great deal of laboratory experience in instrumentation, both indoors as well as on-field. I am keenly willing to contribute my best to work on the latest technologies in the field of electronics that will lead to the betterment of the society.I obtained my bachelor's degree in Biomedical Engineering Engineering from SSN College of Engineering, Anna University - Chennai, India in June 2017. I have worked on several projects ranging from Laboratory Model of Low Cost Dialysis Machine to building an artifical neuron which has provided me with a unique learning experience. Currently, I am working as an Electronics Engineer at Now Diagnostics, Los Angeles - California. I interned at Philips Innovation - Banglore, India during Summer'16 where I worked on CT, MRI, Ultrasound and ECG Machines. Also I had an opportunity to intern at Apollo Hospitals and Sooriya Hospital - Chennai, India during my undergraduation. Apart from these experiences, I have worked on several projects throughout my graduate and undergraduate career. Please do checkout my resume for more details!

Projects

	Laboratory Model of Low Cost Dialysis Machine Vaibhav Murali, Gopi Chandran, Surya Prakash  |  Spring 2017 We engineered a cost effective machine that performs basic operations such as monitoring pressure, temperature and detecting air bubbles present inside blood drawn from patient. Report Video 1 Video 2 Video 3
	Simulation of Grodin's Model Vaibhav Murali  |  Fall 2017 Simulated Grodins Model in MATLAB. Modified controller equation to predict periodic breathing in normal and heart failure. Report
	Implementation of radial artery to aortic transfer function Vaibhav Murali  |  Fall 2017 Constructed a linear circuit to calculate transfer function. Observed aortic flow during normal and abnormal heart conditions in MATLAB. Report
	Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation using EEG Vaibhav Murali  |  Fall 2018 Research project aimed at treating pain automatically based on EEG pattern. Involved designing a cap with electrodes embedded on it to extract brain waves along with appropriate signal processing to get a meaningful signal to treat pain Report
	Design of Artificial Neuron Vaibhav Murali  |  Fall 2018 Implemented Mealy Machine circuit using Cadence Virtuoso. It involved flipflops & compound gates to replicate the firing of neurons. Report
	Design of Ultrasound Airflow Transducer Vaibhav Murali  |  Spring 2018 Developed an ultrasound transducer model in LT SPICE and simulated the same. This model shows us the linear relationship of volume over time the for three flow rates. Report
	Design of Brain Tissue Oximeter Vaibhav Murali  |  Spring 2018 Developed a brain tissue oximeter using 555 timers in LT SPICE. Also generated diode current driver circuit for constant current during activation of timer. The model was then simulated using LT SPICE. Report
	Cast Simulator Vaibhav Murali  |  Spring 2019 Worked on a cast simulator which helps surgeons to practice casting an arm. The device gives real-time feedback of temperature and pressure inside the arm as it is being casted so that it helps the surgeons to improve casting in order to avoid discomforts for patients. This project is a part of my directed research and was done in collaboration with Children's Hospital Los Angeles.
