This research project advanced sustainable nanomanufacturing by developing and optimizing Optothermal Bubble Etch Lithography (OBEL), a maskless subtractive technique for high-precision device fabrication. The work focused on laser-induced microbubble formation on gold thin films to achieve localize...

Developed an end-to-end analytical and computational framework to optimize a Baja SAE tubular chassis for strength, stiffness, weight, and cost. The project performs a full parametric sweep of tube outer diameter and wall thickness across multiple steel alloys (AISI 1018, AISI 4130, Docol R8), evalu...

Spearheaded the inaugural chassis design for the University of Texas at Austin’s first-ever Baja SAE team. The project involved translating SAE International safety regulations into a high-performance off-road frame capable of enduring extreme impact loads while maintaining a competitive power-to-we...

● Redesigned the drive pods of the robot using SolidWorks to make it lightweight, increasing compactness, and designing new shock absorbers. Currently planning, designing, and creating drive pods as well as updating the robot chassis. ● 50% more efficient drivepods (in terms of shock absorption) whi...

Developed an Agent-Based Model (ABM) to simulate the complex dynamics between housing availability, economic instability, and homelessness in Seattle, WA. The project focuses on stress-testing urban resilience against "Black Swan" events like natural disasters, economic recessions, and sudden demogr...

Developed a mathematical model to quantify the environmental impact of shifting urban commutes from standard passenger vehicles to electric bicycles. The project synthesizes variables such as vehicle lifespan, occupancy rates, and annual commute mileage to project total carbon emissions saved over a...

Led the Team Delta preliminary design phase for critical lunar surface transit systems supporting NASA's Artemis program. This project encompassed comprehensive technical research, multi-stakeholder collaboration, and prototype development for Human Landing System (HLS) designs capable of safely tra...

This 3D render showcases a dynamic particle system featuring a central sphere surrounded by orbiting spherical elements of varying sizes. The composition demonstrates gravitational-like clustering and hierarchical scaling, creating an asteroid belt or molecular structure aesthetic. The minimalist gr...

Conducted a comprehensive computational study to map dark matter distributions across various morphological galaxy types (Spiral, Elliptical, Lenticular, and Irregular). By analyzing rotational velocities and photometric data from the SPARC (Spitzer Photometry and Accurate Rotation Curves) database,...

Designed and manufactured a competitive combat robot featuring a high-kinetic energy drum-spinner weapon for the ECLAIR Battle Bots competition. The project focused on compact systems integration, power-to-weight optimization, and "design for survival" under high-impact conditions.
