With Cornell Nexus, I spent 2 years working on a robot that would traverse a beach and collect microplastics autonomously. As Mechanical team lead I worked on all parts of the project ranging from the filtration, to the drive train, to the base station.

This project designed a lightweight Epoxy/Carbon Fiber battery enclosure for luxury performance EVs, achieving up to 80% weight reduction compared to steel while ensuring industry standards.

For Fluids and Heat Transfer final project, my team designed a wind turbine blade to work in a predetermined wind speed. Within the project constraints, I used differential evolution to numerically optimize the blade parameters.

As the final project for Mechanical Synthesis, our team built a peristaltic pump, machining majority of the parts with the manual mill and lathe.

Also a project for Mechanical Synthesis, we were tasked with building a prototype for a product of our design, for which we conducted market research and customer interviews.

As the final project for Introduction to Mechanical Engineering, we designed a battery powered car that competed against our peers. One of the competitions was about speed while the other was a tug-of-war.
