Amine Gaizi is a masters student working on a degree in Electronics and Embedded systems. As an exchange student from France, Amine is studying in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering within the College of Engineering here at OSU. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amine taking care of a tea salon and serving mint tea he had prepared for all CPE students, which is very popular in Morocco. During that day Melting Potes was presenting Africa and Amine did this to display the moroccan culture.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Amine is originally from Morocco, where he studied in French schools, so the next natural step was to move to France for his higher education. At CPE (Ecole d’Ing\u00e9nieurs en Chimie et Sciences du Num\u00e9rique<\/a>) in Lyon France, Amine has been working on his degree. At CPE Amine was part of an association that promotes cultural diversity and helps the foreign students that come to CPE. It is called “Melting Potes”, like melting pot but with a twist, in french “potes” means good friends. One of the major events we organize is called “the cultural week”. Everyday they present the culture of a continent through food, music, decorations, activities and gifts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During his graduate work, Amine worked in the department of automotive microcontrollers at Infineon Technologies in Germany for a year to develop an autonomous robot in the shape of a mini car. Essentially, there is a chip that you can program to interface sensors and control actuators following a particular algorithm. Amine says the microcontrollers developed by the automotive department of Infineon are very safety and security oriented, which makes them practically fail-proof. It is the type of technology that is used for braking systems in cars. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This mini robot car that Amine worked on is capable of scanning what\u2019s in front of it, and heading to target locations while avoiding obstacles, and Amine presented this work at Embedded World fair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
