Mechanical Engineering PhD Researcher
Lincoln, NE
ABOUT ME
I am a mechanical engineering PhD candidate at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln specializing in smart materials and robotics research. My expertise spans experimental design, additive manufacturing, and electronics integration. I have secured over $165,000 in competitive research funding including the NSF GRFP. I lead collaborative projects with NASA JPL and mentor undergraduate researchers while advancing innovations in flexible electronics and robotic systems. My work combines theoretical analysis with hands-on fabrication to develop practical engineering solutions.
Spool winder for robotic 3d printing system
Built a low-cost, modular filament winder integrated with a Universal Robots collaborative arm and a custom control architecture, for use in a Bowden-based robotic 3d-printing system.
Design and Testing of Robotic 3d-printing End Effector
• Collaborated with 2 instructors and 4 students to facilitate device fabrication, testing, and student projects.
