• Developed an NX-based kinematic model of the human hand that can change position and dimensions based on various input parameters.
• Created the models, drawings, bill of materials, and tolerance analysis of a fence door capable of raising or lowering its pivot points as ice buildup impedes the normal opening and closing during Alaskan winters.
• Developed an inexpensive bracket that can hold a camera at a repeatable position and orientation to create repeatable images.

Seattle, Washington, United States

• Produced a six-minute overview video on the EIH program which included recording video interviews, remastering audio and visual materials, creating a cohesive narrative, and assembling the final video. The video has.
• Created short videos focused on individual projects and EIH activities within short timeframes that were shared on EIH media accounts to encourage interest in the program.
• Designed various graphics and flyers for social and email communication to encourage student and sponsor participation in EIH.
• Wrote and published various articles highlighting previous projects that began their development in EIH.

Provo, Utah, United States

• Investigated the degradation of mechanical properties of various polymers in a blood-like environment through the creation of blood vessel surrogates, tensile testing, and analysis. I then presented the results of this.
• Tested the effectiveness of origami inspired compliant structures to regulate radiative heat absorption/emission by designing and manufacturing test fixtures and instrumentation and performing thermal testing. I.
• Explored the use of compliant mechanisms to create a bio-mimetic Spinal Total Disc Replacement (TDR).
• Performed research tasks in the BYU Applied Biomechanics Engineering Laboratory, the Compliant Mechanisms research group, and the Flow Lab (a thermodynamics research group)
• Acted as a teaching assistant for various intermediate and advanced mechanical engineering classes i.e., kinematics, materials science, machine design, Neuromechanics of movement, and advanced mechanics of materials..

Provo, Utah, United States

• Created lectures, homework, exams, and labs that explored topics in machine design including stress, strain, FEA, structural analysis, deflection, failure theory, buckling, fatigue, pressure, and press fits.
• Lectured for two-hour sessions to a class of 30 junior level students.

Salt Lake City Metropolitan Area

• Validated the safe function of the locking mechanism used in a cervical spinal fusion device by designing and manufacturing test fixtures, writing an experimental protocol, performing experiments on an Instron tensile.
• Developed a new multifunctional spinal screwdriver design that could securely hold, drive, and actuate cervical spinal screws while withstanding significant lateral loads. This new design reduced instrument count and.
• Designed and oversaw the prototype manufacturing of a surgical instrument capable of removing a press fit implant inside a percutaneous surgical window. This essential implant revision tool had been a multiyear long.
• Built a validated Finite Element Analysis model of the PreView system that allowed for the investigation of implant design modifications without costly manufacturing and testing runs.
• Refined designs and drawings in conjunction with manufacturing partners to improve manufacturability and cost effectiveness including tolerance analysis and GD&T callouts.
• Modified implant and instrument designs with the input of surgeons to improve usability and safety.
