at UBC. Here I was designing laboratory equipment interfaced with electronic devices,
and real time experimental control and the ability to monitor with software development
(Man-Machine Interfaces (MMIs) -IoT without Internet). The project was about design

a) Calibration of Geosynthetics and preparation of experiments

b) Instrumentation of Geosynthetic grid and attaching to the Loading System
