Joshua Barr

As a recent graduate in Electrical & Electronic Engineering, my skill set encompasses a diverse range of technical competencies. I have a solid grasp of coding languages like Python, C+, C++, and Java, coupled with a foundational understanding of algorithms and encryption techniques. My hands-on experience extends to utilizing software tools such as MATLAB, Easy Builder Pro, M3 soft, and Proteus.

Notably, I've had the opportunity to apply my knowledge in practical contexts. For instance, I successfully designed and implemented a project focused on wireless power transfer, leveraging a near-field focusing antenna. This experience has honed my abilities in circuit analysis and design, MATLAB coding, and simulation Software demonstrating my capability to tackle real-world engineering challenges.

My commitment to safety, meticulous attention to detail, and adaptability make me a valuable addition to engineering teams, whether it's in the realm of software development or on-site engineering projects. I'm enthusiastic about contributing my technical expertise and problem-solving skills to drive innovation and achieve excellence in diverse engineering environments.

• Lane Keeping Control - Using Python, I designed a control system for an autonomous vehicle that will self-regulate in order to maintain vehicle positioning as well as change lanes when necessary. The main tool for this was a PID Controller.
• Control of an Inverted Pendulum - Analyzing the dynamical properties of an inverted pendulum and designing a control system in order to maintain its upright position.
• Designing an Active Filter - Measuring an active filter circuit, designed with an operational amplifier circuit, and analyzing only active elements.
• Microwave Wireless Power Transfer using Near-Field Focusing project, focusing on enhancing power transfer efficiency through precise near-field microwave beam focusing. Applied principles of electromagnetic resonance and advanced antenna design to optimize energy transmission, showcasing practical skills in power transmission, MATLAB Simulation software, and the relevant coding to allow the project to function, as well as my independent researching skills, to find the necessary literature, published papers, and textbooks to allow me to gain knowledge and further my understanding of the area of study.
