Carried out the following LabVIEW projects:

• Micro Viscometer, Junsung E&R, Gwangju, South Korea, August 2011.
  Developed a Human Machine Interface (HMI) software on LabVIEW platform for live monitoring and controlling biomedical instrument called “Micro Viscometer”. This instrument measures Blood/PBS viscosity for disease identification through Image Processing.
  
  

• Tunnel Cable Automatic Fling Monitoring System, Junsung E&R, Gwangju, South Korea, August 2011
  Developed a Human Machine Interface (HMI) software on LabVIEW platform for live monitoring and controlling the cable fling system.
  
  

• Simulation of Monitoring and Controlling of Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV), Australia, February 2010
  Designed a simulation model for monitoring and controlling an Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV). Two Virtual Instruments (VIs) ran in parallel: one serving as the UGV server GUI and the other simulating UGV behavior. The two VIs communicated through TCP/IP protocols, and the designed server VI could be adapted for real-world GPS-based hardware monitoring and control.
