My interests for designing and creating began with my love for LEGOs. As I got older, I let my imagination run wild and started experimenting with different builds. Fast forward to today, I’ve transitioned away from limiting my ideas and tools to just LEGOs ...
Currently, I’m developing a blood pressure measuring device at the Sia Lab and leading a team in Formula SAE to design an enclosure to protect electronics. These experiences have improved my abilities to work in a fast-paced and collaborative environment.
Experience
@ Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist
- Optimized the rib cage in models by analyzing 24 CT and MRI scans
- Developed an analysis algorithm to identify and decrease mislabelled ribs in CT scans
- Improved accuracy of rib cage angle measurements for 2,250 CT scans
@ Columbia Formula Racing
- Leading group of students to transition the accumulator's material from steel to carbon fiber
- Designing and manufacturing different parts for drivetrain and accumulator
@ Sia Lab
- Developing a cuffless blood pressure monitoring wearable device:
- Built a machine learning model to improve the accuracy of blood pressure calculations
- Resolved Bluetooth connection issues to enhance user experience and data collection reliability
- Improved maintenance of the prototyping device's app by documenting code
Projects
- Arc furnaces are used to melt metal and are very expensive
- Our goal is to design and manufacture a cheaper version of the arc furnace
- Raman microscopes, which can be expensive, are used to analyze the material composition and obtain a 3D map of a sample
- Our goal is to design and manufacture a Raman microscope as cheap as possible by combining a confocal microscope and Raman spectrometer
- The cross member links components (such as the motor and differential mounts) to each other
- Our goal was to minimize weight without compromising safety.
- Identified initial forces using free body diagrams
- Identified areas to cut using topology studies
- Chose a symmetric design for weight distribution and aesthetics
- Performed static study to check that safety factor was above 3
- Our goal was to design a toy that teaches children basic addition and subtraction facts with only single digits as operands
- In our design, we couldn’t use electronics, small and loose parts, and magnets.
- Our solution was an interactive toy designed to require neither parental guidance nor electricity.
- Our goal was to convert a mechanical scooter into an electrical one
- I worked on calculating the electronics we needed and performed safety checks on them
- I also designed the motor guard, brake leveler, battery enclosure, and the speed controller holder
- In the end, our scooter ran up to 10 miles per hour
