I designed a windowed test manifold in SolidWorks and built a sealed, serviceable flow loop with stable optical access. I set up the imaging pipeline and performed all image analysis, tuning seeding, and inter-frame timing to generate clean particle fields and preliminary velocity vectors. Check out this page for more.

I co-led mechanical design and CAD (~50%) for a four-bar, spring-based truck that keeps normal lean-to-turn steering while filtering sidewalk chatter. I modeled key assemblies (truck, link plates) and laid out the pulley/belt path, tolerance checks, and fastener strategy. We delivered a high-fidelity prototype plus a clear path to simplify parts and service. See more here.

My team designed a six-wheel rover designed for disaster-aid delivery and mapping. We used a dropped center axle for point turns without sacrificing stability, plus tight vertical packaging in a ~16×16 cm footprint to keep the center of mass low. The cargo system used a calibrated ramp with end rollers so containers slid off upright. For autonomy, we fused ultrasonic wall sensing with Trémaux’s maze-solving to choose efficient paths, detect magnetic/IR hazards, and generate a clean map. In demo, the robot traversed the full region with accurate mapping and a safe cargo drop. See more here.

I owned the mechanical design for the entire rover- drivetrain layout, packaging, and a printed payload release that drops cleanly without tipping. I implemented two-sensor line following and an IMU-based hill “boost,” then iterated on-track until it was dependable. On demo day the robot completed the full course with strong checkpoint scores.
