Mechanical Design Projects
This is a collection of some of the projects I've worked on so far. Check back later for more!
FlyVuer
A modular enclosure for real-time fruit fly monitoring and analysis
Doubling monitoring capacity and providing real-time streaming and analysis capabilities, I designed and built a novel, open-source fruit fly monitoring enclosure harnessing the power of PoE technology and 25 Raspberry Pis.

Robotic Forests
Plant-inspired robot design metaphors for ambient HRI
From a mobile houseplant that expresses emotion to a pill plant that reminds you to take your medicine, I designed, built, and deployed charming robotic plant helpers to make day-to-day tasks easier.

Acetabular Cup Extractor
Mechanical Engineering Senior Design Project
When hip replacements need to be replaced, they must be surgically extracted from the bone using a tool called an acetabular cup extractor. Our group designed, built, and tested a patent-pending, powered cup extractor as our undergraduate capstone, winning the WSE Dean's award for best mechanical engineering capstone project, and the Department of Mechanical Engineering's award for best capstone presentation.
