Aluminum powered car

I'm currently working with a team on designing a system to convert an electric vehicle to run using hydrogen gathered from a reaction between aluminum and water.

Coming soon: Dog cart

Another semester project is to work with a client to develop an assistive technology. Our client would like their guide dog to be able to assist moving items during day-to-day tasks.

Exoskeleton Structure

This past summer I worked at the University of Auckland Bioengineering Institute designing and manufacturing the structure of a lower extremity exoskeleton.

"Another Lens"

In the spring of 2015, I took a photography class. "Another Lens" is my final project for the course.

Maseeh Hall Room Lottery Site

I wanted to improve the interface for Maseeh Hall's room placement lottery. Here's what I did.

Skyline Yoyo

In a design for manufacturing class, we made yoyos with free-spinning innards! Can you tell what skylines made it into our design?

Wedding Paperweight

To get acquainted with MasterCAM, we made paperweights. I made one for my brother and sister-in-law's wedding.

Battery SOC Estimation

During the summer of 2014, I was in Zurich! Besides being incredibly beautiful, I worked on estimating the state-of-charge of lithium ion batteries in quadrocopters as well as a few other odds and ends.

"Slipping"

I took a class run by the MIT Museum. We created kinetic sculptures that were placed on display for thousands of visitors in the Museum. This was fun.

Buzeme

Buzeme was an internet connected bottle that could regulate and track when and how much individuals poured. It was developed in one day during HackMIT, a hardware hackathon.

Maslab

I spent January of 2014 with a few others working on a crazy difficult robotics competition. It was pretty cool and I got roped into organizing the event in 2015.

Envoy Arm Path Planning

I jumped in freshman year and was given the awesome opportunity to adapt an implementation of RRT* for an arm on Envoy, a robotic wheelchair.

2.007 Robot

2.007 is a classic class for Mechanical Engineers at MIT. Here's my little robot.

Flashlight

We made flashlights for shop training at the Edgerton Center. They're a tad heavy.

Chad's Treehouse

Way back in high school band camp would get boring. We thought we'd keep our director out of the sun by building him a treehouse one night.

Senior Wall

We (very considerately) constructed a brick wall at the entrance of our high school as a going away present senior year.
