• Designed a robotic actuation system for a soft growing robot used in endovascular procedures, enabling precise control over translation, rotation, tendon-based steering, and pressure modulation.• Developed custom C++ code on a microcontroller to control the net volume of liquid in the vine robot using an optical encoder signal as feedback.• Executed performance qualification trials to evaluate the robot’s precision against theoretical benchmarks.

Directed the design and production of a Transthoracic Echocardiography surgical robot with remote teleoperation capability.https://github.com/ns8483/MAE156A_RobotAssistantCardiologist

• Led process characterization of an ultrasonic welder, employing Central Composite Design within Minitab, to assess the collective statistical impact of various weld parameters on weld quality.• Developed a Python-based algorithm for multivariate optimization, enhancing the identification and visualization of optimal input parameters to maximize weld quality.• Conducted Operational Qualification (OQ) and Performance Qualification (PQ) to validate novel characterization, demonstrating optimal results satisfied acceptance criteria and fell within a 95% confidence interval.• Completed Installation Qualification (IQ) plan and report for a new robot on a manufacturing line.

• Designed components on the system in SolidWorks, including battery housing and support brackets, and simulated beam deflection using MATLAB.• Negotiated a $15,000 sponsorship from high speed camera company ‘Edgertronic’.• Instructed trainees on basic skills such as drilling through stainless steel, bending and flaring pipes and sealing pipe fittings using copper gaskets and Teflon tape.• Conducted a liquid Nitrogen cold flow for one of SEDS’s rockets ‘Vulcan 2’.• Analysed the back-flow of engine exhaust around a blast shield using Ansys CFD.• Prepared and facilitated a weekend workshop at Eastlake High School, Chula Vista for 15 aspiring engineers to illustrate operations at SEDS.

• Developed and drafted parts and assemblies within Siemens NX CAD software from engineering drawings and written instructions.• Collaborated with the customer specials team to design and manufacture a custom 100mm paste dispersion head for a company to improve efficiency and minimize wastage by up to 33%.• Catalogued ASMPT’s materials list for imports from another branch in Berlin.• Coordinated the assembly and wiring of a TQ printer at early stages in the production line, adhering to instructions set out on ProWorks (Electronic Work Instruction Software).• Performed calibrations and quality control checks on a TQ model solder paste printer before shipment.
