- Programmed impedance control for quadruped robot leg with spring-actuated knee joint using 2 DC motors, ROS, and Python leading to successful landing motion- Built fully functional leg prototype and test stand using SolidWorks and 3D printing, allowing for motion testing- Developed gear reduction system using 15:1 worm gears and timing belts, leading to higher joint torque and eliminating back driven current from the motor- Designed novel spring-actuated knee joint to increase jump height

Tutored high-school clients in math and physics, increasing their grades by 25%.

Calibrated specialized SPRT thermometers with accordance to the ITS-90, leading to the thermometers measuring with an uncertainty of 1 millikelvinDeveloped a solution to broadcast live video of ongoing lab experiments to a local website using a Flask server running on a Raspberry Pi, enhancing the ability to monitor lengthy measurements remotely and improving data collection processes

- Built a vacuum chamber by CNC milling end caps and welding onto a 6 ft long aluminum tube, leading to successful testing of in-flight parachute release using carbon dioxide canisters

- Designed a lab sample holder using SolidWorks to electrically interface with delicate samples, leading to successful measurement of resistivity- Built the sample holder out of a 3D-Printed PLA base with small CNC-milled aluminum and ceramic parts, delivering the holder 50% under budget

- Directed a team to create a payload to fly to near-space with a high-altitude balloon by leading team meetings, setting clear project objectives, and delegating tasks- Programmed a Raspberry Pi flight computer with Python using a satellite modem to post avionic data to a website, allowing for transmittance of data to mission control and a tracking vehicle- Developed GPS tracking system for payload and tracking vehicle using Python and Google Earth, allowing for a visual display of longitude, latitude, and altitude data in real time- Created a heads-up-display of avionic data on a flight camera using OpenCV for a sleek visualization of data throughout flight that was recovered after landing- Conducted field tests of the avionic systems by transporting the payload and tracking vehicle on successively longer paths, leading to improvement in reliability
