Senior Design – Lidar Cart
My senior design project, sponsored by the DOT Volpe Center, was to design and fabricate a pedestrian activity data collection unit used to train self-driving car algorithms. My two other team members and I ended up settling on a push cart concept, with room for…

Intrepid Robot
This was the final project in my electromechanical systems class. For phase one of the project, my partner and I were tasked with making an “intrepid” robot that could drive up a steep ramp. For phase two, the task was to have the robot work…
-
Claw Game
This was the fourth project in my electromechanical systems class. We were tasked with making a complex game utilizing at least one motor and a microcontroller. I set out to make a miniature claw game using primarily laser-cut parts. I designed the entire machine in…
-
Hand Mixer Teardown
This project was part of my Engineering Design I class. The task was to disassemble a motorized hand mixer, identify its components and how it works, and design a CAD model of the device from scratch, and without guidance. I greatly solidified my SolidWorks skills…
-
Hair Dryer Teardown
This project was the first project in my Engineering Design I class. The task was to recreate a Conair hair dryer in SolidWorks. It was my first experience creating advanced geometries in SolidWorks, and although we were guided by our instructors, it was a challenging…

CEEO Internship
For my summer 2022 internship I worked at the Center for Engineering Education (CEEO), working to come up with novel tools for STEM education. The CEEO is an offshoot organization of the Tufts mechanical engineering department that has, over decades of pioneering research and advocacy,…

Ramen Mixer
This project was the final project in my freshman “Engineering in the Kitchen” class. We were tasked to automate (to some degree) a cooking process of our choosing. We chose making ramen, as it offered a nice balance between achievability and challenge. The device we…
-
Chicken Doneness Sensor
This was another project in my “Engineering in the Kitchen” class. For this project we were tasked with conducting a data collection study related to cooking. My partner and I chose cooking a chicken breast, which is renowned for its difficulty in rendering it both…
