Meet the Team!

Project PipBoy was the brainchild of a small team of four, and was developed as a part of Drexel University's freshman engineering course, Design Lab 3 (ENGR-103). Having been placed in section 065, which focuses on embedded systems and biomedical devices, we decided to build a wearable device that measures BPM, IBI, and body temperature, and sends diagnostic information directly to the wearer's smartphone through a Bluetooth connection, via a companion app that we are also building as a part of this project. Without further ado, meet the team behind this initiative!

Greetings! As the header infers, I'm Shayaan, and I'm a freshman Computer Engineering student at Drexel University. I've been interested in embedded systems and circuitry for about as long as I can remember, and hence, working on Project Pip-Boy with a team as dedicated as this one is right up my alley. In the coming years, I hope to work with artificial intelligence, nanoprocessors, artificial reality, and so on. As for now, however, I am focused on working to develop this device, lovingly named the Pip-Boy so that it becomes a genuinely useful appliance that is used in hospitals and by patients wherever possible. Here's to the future success of Project Pip-Boy!

Daniel Askerov

Hello! I’m currently studying Mechanical Engineering in order to pursue a career in aerospace and aeronautics. In the future, I hope to be at the forefront of the effort to make us a multi-planetary species. In regards to this design project, I can definitely say that I’m excited for the development of our Biomedical device; this project will test our ability to work as a team, how we’re able to apply our skills, do relevant research, etc. This stuff is super important to understand in professional settings, as it defines one’s capabilities as an engineer. This is definitely one of the most difficult projects I’ve ever dived into, but I’m confident that my group members and I will come up with an impressive final product.

Hello, my name is Ashley Bishop, and I am pursuing a Bachelor's degree in biomedical engineering at Drexel University.  I choose biomedical engineering to study brain-computer interactions, but I am also tremendously interested in developing technology that can directly impact someone's life for the better. My interest in engineering started when I did robotics in high school and continued when I participated in science and engineering fairs, especially when I got the chance to compete in the Intel International Science and Engineering fair.  I believe our project has the potential to impact bio-monitoring devices by providing a solution that is both cost affordable and easy to use.

Abigail Schmaus

Hello! I am a chemical engineering major who is currently switching to biomedical engineering. I got into engineering because I found that my passions in life were math and science, and I decided that engineering is where I wanted to combine those two passions. Our concept for this project is actually quite exciting for me because one of the reasons I wanted to switch to biomedical engineering is to have the chance to design something that helps people. While this project is easily the most difficult project I have ever had to work on I have complete confidence that my group and I will do outstanding work together.
