UnderGraduate Research
As an UnderGraduate Researcher in Dr. Taylor's lab at Case Western Reserve University, I worked on the WAKANDA project, which aims to develop magnetoreception-inspired navigation systems for space travel. In this role, I aided graduate researchers in the development of a predictive model for satellite motion in extraterrestrial magnetic fields, incorporating generalizable planetary and orbital parameters to enhance reliability across diverse mission environments.
Drone Accessories
During the summer of 2025, I built and programmed a custom FPV drone, however certain sections of the build required custom parts. This included a 3D printed mount for the Video Trammitter (VTX) antenna, arm mounts to protect the arms and motors during crashes, a GoPro mount, a custom balance lead strap to prevent the balance lead from getting damaged, and a prop guard to protect the propellers during flight. All parts were designed in solidworks and 3D printed in PETG for durability. However, the prop guard was printed in TPU for flexibility and impact resistance.
Wheel Legs (Whegs)
As part of ENGR 130 at Case Western Reserve University, I designed and built a set of wheel legs (whegs) for a small robot. The whegs were designed to allow the robot to traverse rough terrain and obstacles, while also providing stability and traction. These whegs were designed with solidworks and use a rubberband to provide traction and a pliable section on the wheel to allow the robot to conform to the terrain.
