In 2018 I did an internship at NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory where I worked on a gravity-offload system to test mobility for a future rover mission to Saturn’s moon Enceladus. Read more...
In 2019, I worked with the Hawkes Lab at UC Santa Barbara on developing a tool mount for their soft vine-like robots. I ultimately made two prototypes. Read more...
My bachelor thesis was to design and build a dolly that could carry a heavy, sensitive payload up and down stair with minimal force necessary from the user. The solution I and my group came up with was to build a motorized dolly. Read more...
During an exchange at Lund University in Sweden, I had a course project to develop a system for Axis Communications AB to clean the windows on their security cameras when rainwater or dirt gets on them. The system did this by compressing air onboard and spraying that air onto the camera window. Read more...
During an internship at NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory in 2016, I designed a system to test a concept for a probe to explore inside of Jupiter’s moon Europa. It uses a circular saw rotating about the vertical axis to create a borehole in ice, which on Europa would be ~20 km deep. I was an author of a paper on this system published in IEEE aerospace, available here. Read more...
In summer 2014, I worked at NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory in their Robotic Vehicles and Manipulators lab. I worked on the design for a so-called Cam Hand for the disaster recovery robot, RoboSimian. Read more...
