Teaching robots to be skilled craftsmen.At Machina Labs we use robots to perform DSIF (dual-sided incremental forming), turning metal sheets into complex parts. Beyond just forming parts, robots can act like a craftsman and pick up different tools to cut, grind, polish, weld, etc. Process Devs at Machina Labs are responsible for developing, refining, and.

Performed research in the Chemistry department under Professor Matt Law with a small team of graduate and undergraduate researchers developing photovoltaic (solar) cells. My work was on the initial stages of materials synthesis and characterization for unique inorganic oxide materials useful in a new kind of solar cell.The research was extremely engaging.

Research with the UCI BioMEMS group to develop a far-field electrospinning apparatus for use in production of nanofibers. Exploration shifted the focus to characterizing the pyrolyzability of various polymers spun with near-field electrospinning.I undertook the design, building, and initial calibration testing of the electrospinning apparatus with minimal.
