Dr. Maryam Etezad, PhD

.

Dr. Etezad has a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering. She is passionate about teaching and the environment. That is why our research is focused on creating a better environment for education and living.

JOB POSTINGS

WE ARE HIRING!

 I am hiring one graduate and two undergraduate  students. If you are interested, please send me your resume.      Job Description Summary:  The overall goal of this project is to  provide research guidance towards how to present braille and graphics on the same platform using a small dynamic tactile grid for visually impaired and blind individuals. Specifically, projects in the lab include 1) Developing a tactile display with reduced number of braille cells compared to traditional available braille displays and analyzing its accuracy for different presentation methods. 2) Modifying the available tactile display prototype to improve its accuracy and ease of reading. 3) Study and improve the available prototype device that can convert an image on the mobile touchscreen onto a tactile grid so that the visually impaired and blind individuals can actually touch/feel the image. 

ReseaRch

The Etezad Research Lab at Chapman University is investigating how to create radar sensors for various applications such as enhancing the classroom experience, student behavior detection, and solving environmental sustainability challenges.

Projects:

Our main project is  focused on using a portable FMCW (Frequency-Modulated Continuous Wave) Radar to detect and track student attentiveness in classrooms. The goal of this project is to give instructors a tool to measure the attentiveness of students during  lectures to help them improve their pedagogical techniques. 

Group Members

Daniel Dinh

 I’m currently a sophomore at Chapman University majoring in Software Engineering with a minor in Electrical Engineering. My interests are in project management and documentation, as well as robotics and rf signals. I enjoy reading, writing, camping, and spending time with friends. 

Ethan Slade

 I am a current junior at chapman university with a major in electrical engineering and a minor in leadership and math. I'm expected to graduate in the spring of 2023. I primarily enjoy dealing with the hardware of projects. I play lacrosse at chapman university and have for the past two years. I enjoy the mountains, blue skies and physical exercise.    

Samuel Bernsen

I am a Sophomore Computer Engineering major with an Analytics minor. My expected graduation date in Spring 2024. In my massive amount of free time, I enjoy playing a bunch of different sports, including: Baseball, Soccer, Volleyball, and Golf. I am excited to work with my peers on this FMCW radio project to further my education.

Trey Alexander

Hello, I'm currently a Sophomore Computer Engineering major and Game Development Programming minor with interest in both the software and hardware sides of computers. My interests outside of this research include, but are not limited to, 3D printing, drawing, and a myriad of, semi insignificant, skills. With introductions out of the way, let's get to work.

Success Stories

 Congratulations to Samuel Bernsen and Daniel Dinh for winning the SURF award.
