I am Abhyudaya Gupta. I graduated with my Master’s in Electrical Engineering at the University of Washington, Seattle. I love solving problems faced by the people of our generation and building new technologies to realize the future we envision. I am currently looking for full-time opportunities in Electrical / Hardware Engineering. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e24f89bde6f0056c7b39be4/1580896765642-U9KOZ557WERSOHW6FQ9F/ezgif.com-video-to-gif.gif Home - …sometimes it leads to very dramatic outcomes At the end of the Devices and Circuits class I was taking in Spring 2019, we decided to see what happens when 120V AC gets passed through resistors, LEDs and small capacitors. The outcome was smoky indeed https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e24f89bde6f0056c7b39be4/1580291714767-UMNA8KS0UNLFK08NR5M0/IMG_3079.jpg Home - “Curiosity is what drives me forward.” Apple iPad Charger Summer 2019 - My iPad charger stopped working. I decided to take it apart to see what’s inside. It was fascinating to the see circuit components placed perfectly onto a tiny PCB, which had cuts and grooves for the second half to fall right in place. This extended my thinking on what is possible and has been an inspiration for some of my other projects. https://www.abhyudayagupta.com/blog daily 0.75 2020-02-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e24f89bde6f0056c7b39be4/1581454872927-L87C4D8G1U0KISCTEKDT/IMG_4771.jpg Blog - I actually fixed my roommate’s xbox controller. My roommate hadn’t played on his xbox for a while. Recently, he decided to play. However, the batteries on one of the controllers had leaked - damaging the conductivity of the spring terminals on the controller. Check out how I fixed it below. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e24f89bde6f0056c7b39be4/1581582638880-59A9OYVRMRDUUG1ESAEG/IMG_0464.jpeg Blog - Localized Heating/Cooling Instead of Heating/Cooling an Entire Room Spending hot summery nights in India with frequent power outages - made me think about using localized cooling instead of spending the energy to cool an entire room. I thought this could reduce energy consumed per human/per night. What do you think about this idea?

This helps in getting to the root of the issues and finding least complicated and most effective solutions. This approach was particularly helpful in the Life Sciences Building project taken up by UW Solar where the front facade of the building was initially designed to have metal fins to provide shade during sunny days and reduce air conditioning costs during summer months. At UW Solar we explored the idea of transitioning from metal fins to glass fins that incorporated Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) instead. This proved to be innovative and cost-effective over the long term. Our joint proposal was accepted, marking the Life Sciences Building as the first BIPV-equipped structure on the UW Campus. This helped save thousands of dollars and raised awareness about BIPVs on campus. Currently 12,260 kWh of energy is being produced by the BIPV fins alone. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e24f89bde6f0056c7b39be4/1580889047149-YZVPHPL76IF9GCWKU3I3/IMG_4219.jpeg Portfolio - UW SOLAR | Campus Planning Lead UW SOLAR Team Visits The Husky Stadium For Rooftop Solar Panell Installation Analysis. https://www.abhyudayagupta.com/portfolio/drone monthly 0.5 2020-06-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e24f89bde6f0056c7b39be4/1581319981143-YSTQ60K8QTFBZ0R0KFH2/84088882_565256350868845_998065251863756800_n.jpg Portfolio - Drone Traffic Control System With Charging Base | Embedded Systems Engineer Using interleaved copper plates of +5V & GND, the probes on the drone will charge the drone once they touch the copper plates on the landing pad.
