I'm a second year mechanical engineering student at Northeastern University, pursuing a minor in bioengineering.
Outside of coursework, I serve as mechanical co-lead for the Northeastern Mars Rover Team and am working with a nonprofit biotech incubator to set up a makerspace for early-stage medical device companies. I am also a memeber of the Northeastern Theme Park Engineering Club, and participate in NEU's chapter of ASME.
Outside of engineering, I love traveling, skiing, performing music (🎺), and exploring Boston.
As mechanical co-lead, I work with an interdisciplinary team to design and integrate mechanical systems across the rover in preparation for university competitions. Recent work includes a wheel redesign improving stiffness and ground clearance, and modifications to the end effector to improve dexterity for certain tasks.
An automated pill dispenser for clinical and assisted care environments. An RFID reader looks up the patient's prescription, and three slotted-disk hoppers driven by steppers dispense the correct combination and dosage. Achieved 100% accuracy across 100 trials at a ~$70 build cost.
An automated pill dispenser designed for use in clinical and assisted care environments. An RFID reader looks up the patient's prescription, and three slotted-disk hoppers driven by steppers dispense the correct combination and dosage, with an Arduino-controlled LCD guiding the nurse or caregiver through the workflow.
Built with a team of four for Cornerstone 2. The final prototype achieved 100% dispensing accuracy across 100 trials of three patient prescriptions, exceeding the 95% initial target. Total build cost: ~$70.
For this project I worked on CAD design, 3D printing, and laser cutting. I assembled the Arduino components of the system and programmed the controller using Arduino C++.
A three-stage interactive exhibit teaching 4th–5th graders about the Hyatt Regency Walkway Collapse. Combines a Python narrative game, a laser-cut bridge puzzle, and a Raspberry Pi Pico–driven 3D bridge that physically collapses when overloaded — with LCD readout and an LED warning strip.
A three-stage interactive exhibit teaching 4th–5th graders about the Hyatt Regency Walkway Collapse — one of the deadliest structural failures in U.S. history, caused by a single overlooked connection detail in the suspended walkways.
Built with a team of three, the exhibit combined a Python narrative game, a laser-cut 2D bridge puzzle showing the original (failed) versus corrected designs, and a Raspberry Pi Pico–driven 3D bridge that physically collapses when overloaded, with LCD weight readout and an LED warning strip.
My contribution was the AutoCAD design and laser cutting of the puzzle, Pico enclosure, and model bridge. I worked with my teammates to integrate the Pico components and ensure the Python code worked with our model.
