Project Highlights
Wireless Sensing Arrays in Hostile Environments
Spring 2022
Manufactured PCB for SAW sensor and impedance matching and use VNA S21 Ratio to characterize how signal changes across sensor with temperature.
Bipennate piezoelectric stack actuator
Spring 2021
Optimize piezoelectric stack such that cross-section area of piezoelectric layer is maximized for prescribed bounding envelope during contractile motion and evaluate the performance implications (i.e. blocked force, free displacement, actuator stiffness, volumetric energy density).
Electromagnetic Generator
Spring 2020
Demonstration of Faraday's Law of Induction via generator (counter rotating stator and rotor)
Rob's Guitar Adaptation
Fall 2018
Developed assistive devices for quadriplegic artist play guitar again. Sponsored by V-LINC/IMAGE Center/VME and awarded Project of the Year. Learn more about this project here!

Sisyphus Challenge
Fall 2017
Designed and built a mechanical device that would place a 3.5lbs bowling ball on top of a 11" tall tower with a 6" square platform. Teams competed in an internal class competition for speed with design specifications on volume, start position, control, battery, motor, fabricated components, and custom design parts.
Child's Toy
Spring 2017
Designed and built a prototype of a child's toy that contained a four-bar linkage with 2 mechanical motions. Details to make the toy interactive, fun and safe for children were integrated into the design.
Wheel Chair Ramp Design
Spring 2016
Designed a wheel chair ramp for the assigned residence based on ADA construction guidelines for private residences. A physical 3D scale model of the design was built for presentation.
UMBC Robotics on the Surface (UROS) Competition
Fall 2015
Designed, built, tested, and operated a VEX robot to perform simulated challenges (e.g. urban rescue, oil spill clean-up, bomb disposal, disaster relief) to compete with other student teams in the introductory engineering course. Project is a translation of the Academic Robotics on the Water (AROW) project developed by Capt. Russell and his team at USCGA.
