PROJECTS

Independent Project- Cooling Vest Spring 2022

● Created design for a commercial

cooling vest.

The product is still in the design

phase and will move to

prototyping by the end of 2022.

● Aims to serve mascots and potentially

the U.S. army.

● Aims to file for a patent when the prototype

is complete.

● Project is done in collaboration with one

other person.

ME 447- Project 3, The Snake and Inchworm

Simulations

Fall 2021

● Created generalized code for a genetic

algorithm in python using numpy.

● Applied this program to two examples:

Snake simulation optimized movement of

the snake taking into account the scales

friction.

Inchworm simulation optimized the amount

of legs needed and shape of movement.

ME 370 – Automated Covid Testing

(Robotic Tub Handling Machine)

Spring 2021

● Designed a mechanism to store the vial

using Creo.

● Designed vial-rack and rack and pinion

mechanism.

● Conducted dynamic force analysis.

ME 270 – Mini Project 8 – Design for

Repurposing and Recycling

Fall 2020

● Designed a spray paint can mixer from an

immersion hand blender using Creo.

● Designed a product that has used

environmentally friendly materials, by

researching the environmental impact of

various materials.

● Conducted design for assembly (DFA)

analysis and 2-factor design of experiment

(DOE).

ME 270 – Mini Project 4 – 3D Printable

Assistive Device

Fall 2020

● Designed a cup sleeve for

essential tremor patients using

Creo.

● The product helps to balance the cup,

through counterbalancing the hand

vibrations.

ME 310- System of Fountains Fall 2020

● Created fountains that held a ball at a

certain height and sprayed water at a

targeted location.

● Used fluid mechanics to determine

diameter and lengths of all pipes.

● Calculated head loss from friction.

● Successfully implemented a working system

for both ball and launcher segments.
