Our Team

The HAM team is composed of five Notre Dame senior electrical engineers. By combining their knowledge of hardware and software components, they have created a functioning device that records a test subject's activity and the UV light in their environment. This information can later be exported from the device in a format compatible with existing iCeNSA software, allowing researchers to explore analytically the relationship between one's environment and their level of activity.

    Calvin Campopiano Hailing from Statesboro, GA, Calvin's role in the HAM team was the design of the board in EAGLE. This included finding and when necessary creating a library for the specific subsystem parts, creating the schematics for each subsystem, and then finally routing the actual board. Upon graduating from Notre Dame, Calvin will be attending the University of College Cork in Cork, Ireland for his Master's in Sustainable Energy as a Naughton Fellow.

    Billy Schell William (known to all as Billy) came to Notre Dame from a town south of Rochester, NY. Majoring in Electrical Engineering, Billy has also taken a few Computer Science classes, just for fun. Utilizing these CS skills, Billy helped write the code for the microcontroller and user interface/ data offload portions of this project. Next year Billy will be pursuing his Ph.D in Electrical Engineering at the University of Michigan.

    Michael Silvernagel Originally from Billings, Montana, Michael is currently a resident assistant in Carroll Hall. His role in the HAM project included serving as a point of contact for the customer, developing accelerometer and light sensor functionality, integrating sensor components with flash memory, and creating the team website. When not pursuing the joys of electrical engineering, he spends his free time running, playing piano, spending time with the Hawaii Club, and volunteering with Special Olympics. After graduation, Michael plans to volunteer with Open Arms Home for Children, an orphanage located in Komga, South Africa. He also intends to apply to electrical engineering Ph.D. programs this fall.

    Colin Terndrup Colin is a former resident of Dillon Hall and originally hails from Redwood City, CA.His work on the HAM Activity Monitor included developing the software interface to offload activity data from the monitor to a desktop computer as well as writing much of the embedded software to control and communicate with the sensors and flash memory. Outside of school his hobbies include playing and watching various sports, reading, and learning about new technologies. After graduation, Colin will be pursuing his M.S. in Computer Science at UCLA beginning in Fall 2015.
