Trends in Global Electricity and Solar Design Study
The world is making remarkable strides towards renewable energy generation, particularly in regards to solar and wind. But the current pace of development is no where near aggressive enough to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. This report sheds light on where we’ve been, where…

Intrepid Robot
This was the final project in my electromechanical systems class. For phase one of the project, my partner and I were tasked with making an “intrepid” robot that could drive up a steep ramp. For phase two, the task was to have the robot work…
-
Spindle Analysis
In this project I analyzed static and dynamic failure of a drill press spindle undergoing worst-case loading. I used analytical and finite-element analyses to determine factors of safety corresponding to each failure mode. For static failure I considered the Rankine and Distortion-Energy theories. For fatigue…

TSVP Battery Pack Analysis
This was an open-ended project I worked on for my Thermal Fluid Systems II class. We were tasked to use Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to analyze the fluid and heat transfer properties relevant to a flow of our choice. Do to our involvement in the…
-
Claw Game ⭐️
My favorite project! This was the fourth project in my electromechanical systems class. We were tasked with making a complex game utilizing at least one motor and a microcontroller. I set out to make a miniature claw game using primarily laser-cut parts. I designed the…
-
Scooptula
This project was the final project in my engineering design I class. We were tasked with making an assistive device that would help a specific person with Cerebral Palsy bake cake, specifically addressing the part of the process that involves mixing the batter and transferring…
-
Reconstructed Bike Seat
This project was the final project in my materials and manufacturing II class. In this project my partners and I made a seat out of various scrap bike parts. We were tasked to employ at least one welded joint. Our seat uses a bike tire…
-
Hand Mixer Teardown
This project was part of my Engineering Design I class. The task was to disassemble a motorized hand mixer, identify its components and how it works, and design a CAD model of the device from scratch, and without guidance. I greatly solidified my SolidWorks skills…
-
Hair Dryer Teardown
This project was the first project in my Engineering Design I class. The task was to recreate a Conair hair dryer in SolidWorks. It was my first experience creating advanced geometries in SolidWorks, and although we were guided by our instructors, it was a challenging…
-
CEEO Internship
For my summer 2022 internship I worked at the Center for Engineering Education (CEEO), working to come up with novel tools for STEM education. The CEEO is an offshoot organization of the Tufts mechanical engineering department that has, over decades of pioneering research and advocacy,…
-
Ramen Mixer
This project was the final project in my freshman “Engineering in the Kitchen” class. We were tasked to automate (to some degree) a cooking process of our choosing. We chose making ramen, as it offered a nice balance between achievability and challenge. The device we…
-
Chicken Doneness Sensor
This was another project in my “Engineering in the Kitchen” class. For this project we were tasked with conducting a data collection study related to cooking. My partner and I chose cooking a chicken breast, which is renowned for its difficulty in rendering it both…
