Managed a social media page to reach 1,500 followers with the goal of educating students about Dream Team Engineering and its projects

Collaborated with a team of 10 students to design models of cholecystectomy and liver transplant procedures for surgical residents to practice on at Shands Hospital at UF.Implemented programs such as SolidWorks to accurately model different components of the human body with guidance from a faculty sponsor at the hospital.Created designed parts through.

Worked under Dr. Jessica Allen to evaluate different inertial measurement units and accelerometers to determine the most efficient methods of data collection for in lab studies. Used software such as Vicon Nexus to conduct motion capture analysis and track participants’ gait and assess perturbations. Met with a team of 10 undergraduate and graduate.

Directed a group of 10 students to design and build a prosthetic bike handlebar attachment with the goal of giving a recipient with an upper limb deficiency increased mobility.Used software such as SolidWorks, Blender, and ImageJ to design and fit the prosthetic to the recipient’s specifications.

Worked with a team of 8 students to modify and 3D print a prosthetic hand for a recipient.Used software such as SolidWorks, Blender, and ImageJ to design and fit the prosthetic to the recipient’s specifications.

Collected, organized, and edited over 100 hours of competition footage from invitationals to create a comprehensive online database.

Worked as an expert witness and designed demonstrative aids to explain complex scientific and engineering concepts to jury members. Led and collaborated with a team of 12 students to analyze legal materials and construct arguments to compete against over 40 of the top ranked teams in the country at invitationals.

Collaborated with 10 students to design myoelectric hand technology to externally power prosthetic devices using electromyography signals from muscle contraction. Created a prosthetic hand prototype using Arduino software and circuitry
