Projects

This is my masterpiece project! At Georgia Tech's Invention Studio, I designed and built a functional remote-controlled airplane, applying concepts in aerodynamics and propulsion for stable flight. Using Autodesk Fusion 360, I created blueprints and refined 29 parts using 3D printers and laser cutters, optimizing for minimal drag and maximum lift. Despite no prior experience, I perfected the design through careful adjustments and precise assembly, focusing on achieving smooth flight. This project deepened my understanding of physics and engineering, solidifying my passion for translating theory into real-world solutions.

This project consists of a 2D design for a mouse trap and its build instructions to build it properly. My overall design involves a spring-loaded mechanism created by a rubber on a triangular prism chamber to capture a ping pong ball. My project received the highest grade because I was able to create a design with the least number of parts and the most stable construction. I used a triangular main frame to create a robust structure. My trap is fast acting and sensitive as it uses a combination of a gravity and spring loaded trigger mechanism.

Trebuchet Project: For this project, I designed and built a functional trebuchet using materials from Home Depot, despite having no prior experience in woodworking. To overcome this, I improvised by sourcing readily available parts from the plumbing section, adapting them to fit the design requirements. Using Newton's equations of energy, dynamics, and kinematics, I carefully calculated the sizing of the trigger mechanism, counterweight, and lever arms to ensure accurate targeting. My goal was to hit the target with minimal trials, and I achieved success within just two attempts. The project report features a video of the tennis ball hitting the bullseye, demonstrating the precision and effectiveness of the design. This experience was not only technically challenging but also incredibly fun.

I recently completed my prerequisite coursework this year for the MIT Beaverworks Autonomous Air Vehicle Racing program. I plan to apply my learnings of computer vision, aeronautical physics, and dimensional transformations to autonomously guide my RC airplane into disaster areas to deliver first aid kits.

This project was in response to a Request for Proposal (RFP) for the development of a butter shooter design. I led our team in creating an effective design and conducted a comprehensive cost analysis for the bill of materials, suitable for production in a manufacturing environment. We received the highest grade for our RFP project and earned the Best Project recognition from the evaluation panel of the JHU summer program.

The purpose of this project is to build a bridge out of spaghetti and wood glue, capable of carrying 3 kg (6.6) pounds of weight. My bridge held up 4.5 kg without damage. I calculated beam resolute forces and a simulator to come up with a unique design which uses minimum material and a reliable safety factor.

My product, Healthy Strength Workout for All (HSWA), is designed to be accessible to everyone, including individuals with disabilities. Exercise is a fundamental need for all, yet it can be challenging for some with disabilities to participate in traditional workout routines. The HSWA solution includes an adjustable timer with audio features to engage and guide users throughout their workout, making exercise more approachable and inclusive for all.
