FUNtain (hydraulophone)
The FUNtain (hydraulophone) is a fluid-based musical instrument that is played by obstructing the flow of a fluid (such as water) through a pipe. One version of the hydraulophone is currently on display at the Ontario Science Center. The work is headed by Professor Steve Mann at the University of Toronto.

Microwave Circuits
The following circuits were designed for the ece524: microwave circuits laboratory.
1. 1GHz Filter (microstrip)
2. 3dB Wilkinson Power Divider (microstrip)
3. 1GHz Microstrip Solid-State Amplifier. The amplifier uses two double-stub matching networks to achieve conjugate matching between the 50Ω source/load and the transistor. The s-parameter results can be viewed here.
Inverted Pendulum
A demonstration of the classic control systems problem of balancing a pendulum on a cart. The demonstration was part of the ece557: control systems laboratory.
