Outreach/Engagement/Impact
Naveed has developed swDuino, a software tool for creating custom Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs) that is popular among engineering students, researchers, and hobbyists. It is listed in the official directory of Arduino and has crossed 50,000 downloads. Naveed has also published several creative puzzle books (available through Amazon) for middle-aged and elderly adults to help improve brain health and mental skills such as working memory, logic, and reasoning.
