Undergraduate research intern · Profs. R. Faraji-Dana, H. Ameri & A. Mataji-Kojouri

Jun 2025 – Nov 2025
  • Developed a non-invasive deep brain stimulation technique that targets deep neural circuits without surgical implants.
  • Proposed PM-TI, a phase-modulated temporal-interference method that reduces unintended stimulation spread by ≈70%, sharpening spatial focus.
  • Simulated electric-field distributions in biological phantoms with COMSOL Multiphysics to validate the focused hotspot.
  • Built a 2-channel high-precision current source (enhanced Howland architecture) to generate the stimulation signals in hardware.
  • Co-authored the PM-TI methodology paper, accepted at ICEE 2026.

02 Lab

Instruments I've built. Not screenshots — every preview here is running live; each one opens in its own tab.

PM-TI — the pitch

bioelectromagnetics · B.Sc. thesis · ICEE 2026

My thesis in five minutes, told as a scroll: deep brain stimulation without the surgery, and one knob k that shrinks the hotspot by two thirds in simulation and by more than half on the bench.

NEXT INSTRUMENT

On the bench. This slot is reserved — the lab is never finished.

03 Writing

Long essays on the things I keep circling back to. Same rule as the Lab — every figure is live and you can break it, nothing here is a screenshot.

AM Modulation 2026

ESSAY · SIGNALS & COMMUNICATION · ~14 MIN · 7 LIVE FIGURES

A microphone gives you a signal that swings a few thousand times a second. A radio wave that can cross a city swings a few million. Modulation is how you get the first one to travel on the second — and amplitude modulation is the simplest way to do it.

Why sound cannot be sent as sound, how the carrier takes the shape of the message, where the sidebands come from, why two thirds of the power is wasted, and how a diode and two passive parts get the message back. Plain English, nothing assumed beyond a sine wave.

Folding infinity into a circle 2026

ESSAY · RF & MICROWAVE · ~15 MIN · 7 LIVE FIGURES

Almost every engineering student is a little scared of the Smith chart — it looks like a dartboard left out in the rain. It isn't hard. A bored Bell Labs engineer drew it in 1939 to stop doing the same arithmetic every day, and every radio instrument built this year still puts his circles on the screen.

The story of how an infinite plane gets folded down to the size of a coin, why the grid lines survive the fold, and why software never managed to kill it. No RF background needed — every term gets explained the first time it shows up.

NEXT ESSAY

In the drafts. This slot is reserved — there is always a next one.
