• Designed and modeled a robotic system for autonomous measurements of drip irrigation flow to optimize irrigation output in a vineyard with a team of three other engineering undergraduates• Developed a computer vision algorithm with OpenCV for drip emitter detection and localization• Implemented ikpy, an inverse kinematics library for the control of a robotic arm to place collector under the drip emitter

Automated Image Acquisition for Crop Signalling• Designed and built an automated fluorescent macroscopy image acquisition system as a tool for plant scientists• Wrote a Python script to synchronize the state of RGB LEDs in between capturing images• Created a time lapse video using images captured to visualize the flow of Rhodamine in a plantAutomated, Smart High-Throughput Phenotyping System• Assisted a graduate student in research of an automated, smart high-throughput phenotyping system• Conducted bidirectional transfer of research imagery between a remote server and the Slaughter Lab• Utilized MATLAB and Excel for the organization, collection, and analysis of research imagery and data

• Engineered the preliminary suspension system for the UCD Hyperloop pod using SolidWorks• Collaborated closely with the chassis team to ensure feasibility of design and seamless integration • Formulated conceptual design for chassis, aerodynamic shell, and suspension system using trade studies
