Projects

Led the team responsible for designing and fabricating a spider inspidered robot capable of stable walking after leg loss. 

Led the team responsible for designing and fabricating airless wheels capable of driving on lunar/martian terrain. Modeled in CAD for analysis. Applied and secured research funding. Constructed wheels with carbon fiber and plywood. Will be installed on the 2024 NASA HERC Rover.

Analyzed the alignment of local rewards to global rewards in order to quantify the success of the agent's learning model and used Python to generate and visualize the data.

Designed, built, and programmed an autonomous vehicle to detect and detonate Anti-Personnel landmines. Used an Arduino to control the motors and sensors, built the frame out of salvaged materials, and 3D printed custom wheels.

Worked with a team to design and build a human powered rover for transporting two people across various terrain. Used CAD to design parts running simulated tests on the rover assembly. Coordinated the team during competition.

Designed a lion puppet that could be controlled internally by 2 actors. Utilized SolidWorks to create a CAD assembly of the puppet's structure and run Finite Element Analysis and Dynamic Stress Analysis on the assembly. Presented results at the 2022 National Conference for Undergraduate Research.
