Howdy, I am Zuha!

Hey there! I'm a third-year Electrical Engineering student at the University of Toronto, and I’ve got a passion for technology and problem-solving. Whether it's circuit design, hardware integration, or diving into embedded systems, I love turning complex challenges into practical solutions. The blend of hardware and software is truly fascinating and drives my interest in creating innovative systems.

I’m particularly fascinated by digital systems and how they interact with hardware to create seamless solutions. The process of optimizing algorithms for these systems excites me and opens up new possibilities for efficiency and performance.

Collaboration is key for me. I thrive in team environments and believe that the best ideas come when we work together. If you’re looking for someone to brainstorm with or collaborate on a project, let’s connect! What kind of projects are you passionate about?

UTEK 2025 Programming Director

University of Toronto Engineering Kompetition 2025
July 2024 – Present

This role involves leading the programming competition by designing of algorithmic challenges for testing participants from the University of Toronto to compete as representatives of the university at the Ontario Engineering Competition (OEC) 2025. The primary objective is to strategically prepare participants, ensuring they were equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge to excel in the competition. 

Brainstorming sessions were conducted in collaboration with the co-director to develop engaging algorithmic challenges. These sessions focused on enhancing participant readiness and fostering a creative environment that encouraged innovative problem-solving strategies. The discussions were structured to prepare for the participation of over 40 contestants.

Demonstrated strong technical writing skills by authoring comprehensive Programming and Judges Packages. These documents provided clear guidelines and evaluation criteria, ensuring that all participants understood the competition’s expectations. A rubric was included to facilitate the selection of the top team that would represent the University of Toronto at OEC 2025.

Collaboration with the entire UTEK team was crucial in brainstorming the theme for this year’s UTEK. This involved engaging in two focused brainstorming sessions to generate ideas that would resonate with participants. To strengthen unity and team spirit, the team also organized a group photo session, fostering camaraderie among members.

Embedded Systems Team Member

University of Toronto Robotics Association – Autonomous Rover Team
August 2023 – Present

The UTRA project aims to develop a cutting-edge rover that will compete in the Intelligent Ground Vehicle Competition (IGVC) 2025, with the ambitious goal of finishing in the top three. This initiative focuses on integrating advanced technologies such as LiDAR, GPS, and motor control systems to enhance navigation precision and overall performance.

Comprehensive circuit schematics were created using KiCad, effectively integrating LiDAR sensors and motor controllers to facilitate precise distance measurement and navigation. Voltage control was implemented through strategically placed resistors and fuses to ensure the safe operation and reliable performance of all components.

The circuit design and communication were streamlined by establishing secure SSH connections to the microcontroller. This integration allowed for the seamless merging of embedded system code with advanced ROS Computer Vision (CV) algorithms, enhancing the overall functionality of the system.

Rigorous GPS testing was led to improve positional accuracy, focusing on reducing covariance values. A significant improvement was achieved by reducing fluctuations to around 0.2, which enhanced confidence in GPS measurements. This testing involved closely monitoring position and altitude changes to assess system stability and refine navigation precision.

Extensive motor tests were conducted to ensure that controllers operated effectively within specified voltage ranges, significantly enhancing the reliability of the rover’s movement systems. Motor speeds were verified using an Arduino in conjunction with an LED light circuit to ensure accurate voltage output, contributing to the overall efficiency and responsiveness of the rover.

Engineering Design Contact Person

Engineering Design and Practice I

Sept. 2022 – Dec. 2022


In my role, to enhance collaboration, I coordinated weekly meetings and facilitated discussions with the teaching team, ensuring we addressed challenges promptly. This proactive approach enabled timely resolutions and maintained the project’s momentum. My ability to foster open communication played a key role in keeping the team aligned and focused on our objectives.
 
In support of the Project Manager, I helped maintain team progress by enforcing a hybrid approach that combined agile sprints for rapid feedback with waterfall milestones. This structured workflow allowed us to adapt quickly to changes while ensuring we met our project goals efficiently.
 
As part of the team, I contributed to the comprehensive analysis of the Sidney Smith Hall entrance. We employed iterative engineering design tools to collaboratively draft over 10 sections in the project requirements. My coordination skills were essential in guiding discussions and ensuring that every team member’s input was considered. I also helped develop Conceptual Design Specifications, which provided a clear framework for the engineering process.

I also collaborated with the library research team to clarify research-related issues, contributing to our design requirements. This teamwork was crucial in ensuring our design was comprehensive, and the positive feedback from the teaching team reflected the effectiveness of our collaborative efforts.
