• Initiated and coordinated time-sensitive changes to part drawings in response to global material shortages• Established new QA test procedure; ensured clarity and viability by collaborating with supplier and field engineers• Authored document analyzing actuator modes & created functional diagrams of all actuation surfaces

• Developed novel tracking technique to characterize diaphragm motion with variable stimulation and lung volume• Analyzed data in MATLAB to get the field’s first look at dynamics of muscle length, shortening, and stress• Modeled kinematics of diaphragm in Rhino 6 to analyze muscle shortening, rotation, and volume displacement

• Lead operations in additive manufacturing section of Rice’s Maker-space with 20+ 3D printers (FDM and SLA)• Integrated new technology into Maker Bar by testing machines and developing training materials for student use

• Operate, repair, and maintain 2D/3D rapid prototyping machines, machine and woodworking tools and workspaces• Assist Rice students and design teams at OEDK with prototyping advice and proper machine use and safety

• Partnered with 23 local nonprofits to scope design projects focusing on innovation and community improvement• Mentored team leaders on project management and team dynamics; taught design process to 30+ students• Grew club membership by 50% and increased member retention by 45% during term

• Led team of four engineers in designing and building an assistive writing device for patients at Memorial Herman Rehabilitation Hospital, The Institute for Research and Rehabilitation (TIRR)• Fabricated device which enabled patients with spinal cord injuries preventing grip and wrist movement to write, type, and use other household objects; iterated upon design based on patient feedback and repeated testing• All patients interviewed strongly preferred our solution to the industry… Show more • Led team of four engineers in designing and building an assistive writing device for patients at Memorial Herman Rehabilitation Hospital, The Institute for Research and Rehabilitation (TIRR)• Fabricated device which enabled patients with spinal cord injuries preventing grip and wrist movement to write, type, and use other household objects; iterated upon design based on patient feedback and repeated testing• All patients interviewed strongly preferred our solution to the industry standard and felt comfortable wearing it Show less

• Developed and tested process for installing new pipe insulation system that was 10% faster and provided a 100% stronger vapor barrier than previous solution. Proper implementation of this system can increase market potential of product by at least 50%. • Created method to detect proper quantity and coverage of mold release on a part; used a UV dye solution and optical inspection system to identify liquid thickness
