Optimizing PCB Design for Electrohydraulic Soft Actuators in Cardiac Assistance
Jazmín Renteria Gonzalez, Xinyi Liang
Stanford University College of Engineering, SURF Program, Summer 2024
This project aims to enhance the design and functionality of electrohydraulic soft actuators for cardiac assistance applications. Leveraging advancements in hydraulically amplified self-healing electrostatic (HASEL) actuators, the research focuses on creating an efficient and and robust PCB design to control these actuators. The goal is to achieve precise and reliable actuation for soft robotic systems that can mimic the natural contractions of heart muscles, providing an innovative solution for cardiac suppoces.

Electronics Engineering Intern, NASA Langley Research Center
Summer 2022, Summer 2023
I was a NASA intern for 2 consecutive summers, working in the Electronics Systems Branch and Aeronatuics Systems Engineering Branch, respectively. During my first summer, my intern project was focused on designing an antenna energy harvesting circuit that displays a signal when electromagnetic fields are close to it. For my second summer, my intern projects were 1) designing a PCB design for a data acquisition system, and 2) programming parameters for high-performance RF radio modems and sensors for long-range testing for aeronatuics projects.
