Class Projects
See below for highlights of project-based classes during Undergraduate and Graduate studies at Columbia University.
Robotics Studio-Fall 2023
Automated Bipedal Walking Robot
Designed, built, and programmed an automated bipedal robot that could walk. Worked in a two-person team. Responsible for kinematic planning, industrial design of a detailed 3D model, manufacturing of all parts, wiring/setting up electronics, programming the robot to run headlessly, and fine-tuning the walking motion.

Machine Design - Fall 2022
Automated Robotics Linkage Mechanism
Worked in a team to design, build, and control a complex linkage mechanism that quickly pressed arcade buttons in a randomly-generated sequence. Responsible for kinematic planning, 3D modeling, manufacturing linkage components, wiring, sensor usage, signal processing, transmission design, control system tuning, and actuation.

Digital Manufacturing-Spring 2023
Programming Based Manufacturing Projects
Focused on digitally-controlled manufacturing processes that converted computer models into physical objects. Topics included: additive manufacturing processes, CNC, sheet cutting processes, numerical control, generative and algorithmic design, topology optimization, broader social, economic, legal and business implications of digital manufacturing. Worked individually and in two-person teams for five projects.
Senior Design - Fall 2022 & Spring 2023
Engineering Concept Design and Prototyping
A two-semester course culminating in a capstone project. The first semester focused on identifying a need-based problem. The steps included ideation techniques, developing problem choices, conducting interviews, developing solutions, and creating a low-fidelity proof-of-concept prototype. The second semester focused on building and refining the prototype. The steps included creating a low-fidelity prototype, and refining the prototype through multiple iterations. Design choices were supported via analysis and engineering standards. Presented progress frequently over the course of both semesters.
