Plasma Speaker
Designed by Luke Calderin, Dan Lynch and Joey Talia
The Plasma Speaker is comprised of a circuit that regulates the Fly Back Transformer’s spark to play music by sharing the same frequency as our musical input

Send Music via Laser Beam
Designed by Freddie Meyer and Joey Talia
Using BJTs, the laser beam flickers to the amplitude of the music and the optical signal is read by a phototransistor across the room.

Am Radio
Designed by Freddie Meyer and Joey Talia
Our AM Radio sends music across the room using a transmitter and receiver designed with BJTs.

Network Game [Java]
Coded in Java by Tanooj Luthra and Joey Talia
The Network Game is comprised of a Machine Player that chooses a move on the board that will instantiate a win, block its opponent’s winning move or pick a strategic position on the game board using Alpha-Beta Pruning.

MapReduce on Amazon EC2 [Java]
Coded by Joey Talia
Using MapReduce, I determined which words are statistically associated with another word in order to create the rankings, which parallels Google’s PageRank. Later, I ran my Hadoop code on Amazon’s EC2 Cloud Servers.

MIPS Instruction Set Simulator [C]
Coded by Joey Talia
I created an instruction interpreter for a couple dozen MIPS instructions, which can run real C programs.

Matrix Multiply Optimizations [C]
Coded by Evan Kawahara and Joey Talia
We implemented Register Blocking, Loop Unrolling, SIMD and OpenMP to optimize Matrix Multiply.

Processor Design [Logisim]
Coded by Joey Talia
I used Logisim to create a MIPS 16-bit processor with pipelining.

SRAM H.264 Video Encoder [Cadence]
Designed by Michael De Vita and Joey Talia
We used Cadence to design our H.264 Video Encoder. Our schematic and layout featured decoder stages, a 32x32 SRAM array, column drivers and barrel shifters.

Operational Amplifier Design
Designed by Michael De Vita and Joey Talia
Using board level design, we created an Op Amp using a bias stage, folded cascode, level shifter and an output stage to comply with our desired gain, bandwidth, slew rate and phase margin.
