- Lead researcher in fusing Baidu's Apollo open source autonomous driving platform with Cohda's V2X DSRC device in a Kia Soul EV- Developed demo involving blindspot in which V2X-equipped vehicle traverses in its lane via pure pursuit control and slows down before other sensors detect stopped car- Managed setup and configuration of on-board devices (IMU, GPS, etc.), allowing for cost reduction compared to other research vehicles setup by an outside company

Ann Arbor, Mi

- Wrote SLAM methods using Monte Carlo localization and occupancy grid mapping from RPLIDAR measurements and applied to robot- Implemented EKF-SLAM to fuse IMU-based individual foot trajectories during walking to compute more precise stride width estimations- Designed gripper for 6 DOF robotic arm and used Kinect sensor to distinguish colors of small blocks and stack them in specified order- Utilized PID control to balance two-wheeled robot when disturbed or travelling on a path

Plain City, Oh

- Designed a dual handling jig that attaches to a robotic arm and grips onto two car parts. Addressed weight, production costs, and interference with hold fixtures and weld guns in design- Generated engineering drawings of several dozen individual parts and overall assemblies

New York, Ny

- Worked on a team of two in Prof. Hod Lipson's lab to improve performance of a low-cost 3D printed robotic arm by integrating tensioning mechanisms and beginning development of an end effector- Incorporated design simplifications such as material reduction and easier assembly

New York, Ny

- Worked on a team of five to create a robotic face that replicates human facial expressions (i.e., anger and joy) as well as speaking capabilities, blinking, nodding, and shaking of the head- Responsible for neck construction and the mechanism of nodding and shaking via a Stewart platform as well as Python coding to coordinate movements and emotions (i.e., the jaw drops while the eyebrows are raised for the "surprise" emotion)

New York, Ny

- Devoted approximately 25-35 hours per week in season (September - October, March - April) for team practices, meetings, and strength and conditioning sessions; dedicated about 10 hours per week in the offseason (November - February) - All-Ivy honors in sophomore, junior, and senior seasons- Academic All-Ivy in sophomore and junior seasons, and Academic All-American in junior and senior seasons

Raymond, Oh

- Determined flow efficiency of engine induction and exhaust systems using a flowbench and aided in preparing engine dynamometer labs for injection timing studies- Discovered that varying ambient conditions contributed to inconsistent flow rates and proposed to maintain steadier ambient conditions for more reliable data

Raymond, Oh

- Conducted steering column static testing and analyzed data on magnitude and timing of steering column compression forces during a crash- Learned dummy setting procedures and assisted engineers in preparing dummies for crash tests
