Inspired by the unusual shapes of pasta, this project explores a creative approach to mix separate fluids flowing through a pipe. These obstacles will be fitted into the pipe to act as a static inline mixer.

Developing an educational on-boarding program for first-year students on the CU Robotic Mining Team.听

The goal of this project was to develop an outreach activity to introduce K-12 students to mechanical engineering.

Coronavirus has recently created听a challenge for brass players who empty their accumulation of potentially infectious spit on the ground as they play. This invention听provides an easy, inexpensive, effective way to safely capture and disinfect the spit while allowing musicians to continue playing. This particular model is specialized for trombones, featuring a lightweight design and easy-lock lid.

Space is something that has always caught our curiosity, but we have only mainly explored within our solar system. Why have we not gone further? How come听we have not really focused on interstellar travel? Is it technological limitations? Is it a lack of public interests? Or have we been focused on it indirectly this whole time?鈥嬏齀n this project, I听not only reflect on these questions听but aim to provide a solution. Achieving the goal of interstellar space within 20 years is no easy feat.听However,听I am hoping听to provide a coherent, developed听and accurate mission that achieved the stated goal.

The Wren is a consumer sanitation solution for restaurants, retail shops听and schools. It allows visitors to safely sanitize their hands quickly with zero contact, eliminating unwanted germs in an elegant and durable design.

The听main goal of this project was to develop tools for the manufacture of small sheet metal components听for the headband of an over-ear headphone. This involved learning about the properties of sheet metal and existing听methods for bending and stamping parts.听The final parts must have high dimensional accuracy, and the production process听must be repeatable and streamlined enough for small-scale production.

Brass instruments have spit valves, also known as water keys, for emptying accumulated spit and condensation. Most brass players simply empty their spit onto the ground听which is highly unsanitary, especially in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.听This product catches and disinfects spit from the spit valve on trumpets.

The goal of this project was to design the face of an animatronic character using Arduino, including moving eyes and an LED mouth.

My inspiration for this project stems from my fascination with gardening and agriculture.听As my first design focused project, I learned a lot about beginning the process to design a sustainable, year-round agriculture system.

The goal of this project was to create a demonstration that illustrates a principle in thermodynamics, heat transfer听and/or fluid mechanics to help students comprehend a difficult concept through the utilization and manipulation of the demonstration. We decided to create a small scale, portable demonstration of a ram pump that can be brought into the classroom and presented to students as a live or recorded example.

This 3D-Printed Respiratory System is used to visualize the insertion of a scope for intubation. This model includes anatomically relevant trachea, carina听and right main-stem bronchi.

The idea for this project came from the RESNA Student Design Challenge, a competition that showcases assistive technology designs that help to improve the quality of life for people with disabling medical conditions.听The Smart Pill Bottle has an LCD display in the cap that shows the user the time that has passed since the bottle was opened.听The number of dosages required daily can be inputted to determine how much time should pass between dosages, and the LCD backlight turns green until the cap is opened to indicate that the next dose is ready.

This project focused on 3D printing an anatomically relevant respiratory system to visualize the insertion of a scope for intubation. The goal for the team was to model and 3D print the trachea, carina听and right main bronchus.

A partner and I worked on a research project modeling heat transfer through cortical bone as a part of a larger effort studying the condition osteochondritis dissecans (OCD). The researchers' goal was to induce the condition in a controlled way using thermal tools.

This project is an autonomous satellite tracker used to track amateur radio and NOAA weather satellites using computer based software to control the direction of an antenna.

The fall 2020 semester brings new challenges for faculty and staff at the 乐播传媒 Boulder. Facial masks are mandatory for everyone on campus, so听classrooms and听lecture halls, holding a fraction of the people they did before, will present difficulties in conveying information and communicating.听I was given the task听to provide a solution to the faculty on campus that will allow them to teach and record lecture material while still being understood. These masks are also听required to have the same level of protection as a three-layer cloth mask.

The goal of this project was to build a desktop plastic mold injector.听The original requirements were for a much smaller device,听but for very little extra cost a larger, more robust听and more versatile design was implemented.

Tasked by Dr. Virginia Ferguson and Dr. Kristine Fischenich, my partner Charlie McClung and I explored using a heat source to damage bone inside joints with the hope of simulating the effects of osteochondritis dissecans (OCD). Our goal was to find a way to cause this necrosis in a lab setting using heat, damaging the bone enough while leaving surrounding cartilage unscathed. This would allow for further studying of how OCD begins and propagates听as well as how to treat it.

After cutting the lawn at my house in blistering heat time and time again, I looked into automated lawnmowers and found a rather annoying problem. In order to get an automated lawn mower, you need to bury a wire deep into the ground around your yard to establish a perimeter that the mower won't cross. I came up with the idea of using IR transmitters and receivers in order to avoid burying the wire will still have听an effective perimeter.

The objective of this project was to design and prototype a robot that would be controlled wirelessly through radio frequency (RF). An operator would use a handheld controller that sends commands to the robot听while the robot simultaneously sends a live video feed to the operator via a wireless camera. This was accomplished through electronics, coding, CAD design听and 3D printing.

The goal of this project was to create a demonstration that illustrates a principle in thermodynamics, heat transfer听and/or fluid mechanics to help students comprehend a difficult concept through the utilization and manipulation of the demonstration. We decided to create a small-scale, portable demonstration of a ram pump that can be brought into the classroom and presented to students as a live or recorded example.

The goal of this project is to create a fun, fast, maneuverable, economical, commuter bicycle that is capable of traveling "around town" distances to replace driving a car. The bike needs to be significantly more powerful than any person can pedal with a 30-mile range.

For this project, I created a tool to enable professors to give virtual demonstrations that can be adapted to encompass听multiple subjects, such as听statics, material science, dynamics听and solids.

I'm very excited to be collaborating with the mechanical engineering department on a dynamic degree planner. I'll be gathering data for every class needed to become a mechanical engineer at CU Boulder听and using it to write a program that generates a custom class path for incoming students. Users will be able to enter classes they've already taken and other parameters听from which the degree planner will create a unique class path.听

Transplanting听is the relocation of grown plants from one location to another. Plants are grown in greenhouses and transplanted (relocated) to larger acreage during the growing process. The goal of this project was to develop a mechanical system to facilitate the transplanting process.

Healthcare workers are required to wear both a face shield and a face mask. Face masks alone attenuate our voices by three听to four听decibels, and face shields completely redirect the path of our sound waves away from the listener鈥檚 ears. For my project, I wanted to help find a solution to facilitate clearer communication between healthcare workers and their patients.
