I have provided engineering guidance in design and fabrication processes of the “Musical Fence” and “Fluid Process” sound sculptures. I've also designed and implemented innovative curriculum for guiding high school students through designing and building novel sound sculptures that were installed in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Medford, Massachusetts, United States

Managed undergraduate interns and lead research and development projects focused on lowering the barriers to entry to learning computer aided design and programming robots in augmented reality with spatial computing.

Designed and fabricated a fully functioning, manufacturing prototype of a "player" violin. The instrument is controlled entirely by MIDI input, allowing it to be synchronized with a player piano. The sound is generated by a surface transducer placed on the inside of the violin, and the bow is programmed to go back and forth as well as tilt up and down to.

Goldau, Schwyz, Switzerland

Created novel lesson plans and supporting materials for a few three hour long activities to be run in a community makerspace as part of the iMake-It project grant.

My technical research focused on music acoustics, trying to understand and quantify the quality of instruments and their parts. I combined this with my engineering education research by designing novel learning environments to have students engage in engineering science by building musical instruments.

Farmingdale, New York, United States

The goal for this project was to collect data from different types of violin strings and quantitatively characterizing the differences between them. Using a previously developed machine designed to bow the string in a human-like fashion, I developed the procedure for recording and analyzing data in LabVIEW, then tested strings under different combinations.
