Nadia Othman resume work about

Digital Synthesizer Project

For my Electronic Product Design course at NYU, I built a digital synthesizer. I used a Teensy, Arduino, and the Teensy Audio Library to program everything. It has 13 keys spanning an octave, an envelope, a ring modulator effect, octave up and down buttons, and an arpeggiator effect. It has a built in speaker and an ⅛" out. It can also be used as a midi controller. I designed the printed circuit board in KiCad and the laser-cut acrylic enclosure in Adobe Illustrator.

Death By Audio

I also worked in the assembly team at Death By Audio for three years, where I built, soldered, and tested various effects pedals. I also did quality control and assisted my boss in backend operations pertaining to dealers and other business partners.

Exploring Impulse Response Measurements in Paulson 620

NYU Music Tech Capstone, 2024

For my Music Tech senior capstone at NYU, I wanted to explore the world of room acoustics. It was a large learning process that I enjoyed every minute of. I audited the program's graduate-level acoustics course in addition to doing my own research into room acoustics and impulse response measurements. Ultimately, I took impulse response measurements of one of the new music facilities at NYU's Paulson Center using Room EQ Wizard and convolved various measurements with a dry signal, a studio recording of drums, in Python.
