Projects
Bipedal robot design, creation, and programming. I'm designing a bipedal walking robot from scratch. (Current)
Endoscope Robotic Tools with Increased Mobility
Continuum robotics research being completed in the Bertram Lab at Duke University. My research focuses on creating prototype robots with greater maneuverability and a larger work space to replace traditional forceps and snares. (Current)
Published paper ETA: May 2026.
We designed and programmed methods to segment scars from the surrounding healthy tissue and then utilized machine/robot learning to path plan for a hypothetical laser surgical procedure. (Fall 2025)
The project was to design, build, and program a portable water system to provide Terrasimco a standardized method to pump water for internal testing of client projects prior to delivery. We also integrated testing capabilities for refurbished pumps and flow sensors. (Summer 2025 engineering internship, Terrasimco)
A water treatment and processing company commissioned us to design and build a custom 15-point manifold. The manifold utilized pressure transmitters and ball valves, allowing the client to individually control the flow from each outlet. (Summer 2025 engineering internship, Terrasimco)
This prototype is a tendon-actuated concentric tube endonasal robot. In this design, two tendon-actuated robots are concentric to each other, resulting in two robots each capable of bending independently. (Spring 2025)
We designed, fabricated, and programmed a scale lunar rover from scratch. Our rover explored increasing speed for lunar sample collection, without sacrificing stability or maneuverability. (Spring 2025)
Utilizing an Elephant Robotics Mycobot 280, we designed and programmed a checkers playing robot capable of playing against any player. It has four different modes of difficulty and can even play against itself. (Fall 2024)
We designed and created an at-home game system that allows kids and adults alike to transform their homes into laser tag arenas. With the flexibility of turning any room into a war zone, every game can include new obstacles, rooms, and tactics! (Fall 2023)
Remote Operated Vehicle
This special topic course challenged students to think outside the box by solving unique problems each year. With a budget of $500 and a time frame of 14 weeks, we were expected to complete the entire engineering process and produce a well-designed, fully functional ROV. (Fall 2022)
RoboNation's annual RoboSub competition challenges students to create Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) capable of completing challenges that mimic real-world ocean scenarios. RoboNation adds new challenges each year, ensuring students get a variety of experience. (2021 - 2025)
These Heelys are designed to be adjustable to the complete size range of adult sized shoes. With their simple clip on/off mechanism, they can easily be worn by anyone, at any time! (Fall 2023)
VEX Robotics teaches teenagers valuable skills such as teamwork and time-management. VEX competitions foster engineering skills and motivate students to learn. This high school club was my first robotics experience, and started me on my MechE journey! (2016 - 2020)
