The goal of this project was to design and fabricate a functional 5-speed gearbox that met defined torque and speed requirements while remaining manufacturable and mechanically reliable. As project lead, I worked with a four-person team to take the system from initial concept through analysis,…

The goal of this project was to design the drivetrain for a 50 lb unmanned ground vehicle capable of operating on both land and in water. I was responsible for evaluating drivetrain components and developing a system that could meet mobility, grade-climbing, waterproofing, and electrical integration…

The goal of this project was to design and build a robotic arm capable of lifting and repositioning objects through a 90-degree motion while maintaining controlled and repeatable movement. I led the preliminary design work and helped take the system from concept through assembly, wiring,…

Applied finite element analysis techniques to evaluate structural behavior across increasingly complex mechanical systems. Coursework included CAD preparation, defeaturing, meshing, boundary-condition definition, and structural analysis of components ranging from trusses and shell structures to…

The goal of this project was to design and tune a feedback-controlled magnetic levitation system capable of suspending a small magnetic object beneath an electromagnet. The system uses a Hall effect sensor to measure the object’s relative position and an Arduino-based PID controller to adjust the…
