Research

I lead the project and capstone team developing a hybrid forming, milling, and deposition machine, currently under construction.

I developed an unsupervised machine learning method to quantify shingle damage and guide impact-resistant roofing design.

I developed laser line sensor measurements and alignment methods for in-process monitoring of tube forming.

I developed and validated deformation models and characterized machine dynamics for Incremental Profile Forming.

I built deterministic keyhole-collapse detection from thermal-emission signals, with no training dataset or pretrained ML model.

Built the core MATLAB processing and ICP registration pipeline for fringe-projection inspection and repair of 3D-printed parts.

I built the ANSYS Fluent pipeline and melting/solidification model to study PLA flow, heating, and nozzle design.

I independently built an Abaqus model to study how forming closes pores in printed Ti-6Al-4V and how much deformation remains after unloading.

I worked with a capstone team to design, build, and validate a differential test bench for Formula Buckeyes.

I helped build and test a solar-equipped model wind turbine in a team project that placed first at the 2023 Makeathon.

I replaced a failing industrial feedwater pump and reconfigured its piping without interrupting production.

I rebuilt mechanical and electrical systems to restore motion and lighting in BalletMet’s 12-foot animatronic nutcrackers.

I restored a Cushman scooter through mechanical refurbishment, electrical redesign, and custom upgrades.

I tested and developed a process for turning spent coffee grounds into fuel pellets, advancing the concept to packaging.
