01 / Engineering portfolio
Engineering systems that connect software, hardware, sensing, and physical interaction.
In progress
Leading subteams developing a custom battery-powered rover for NASA's College/University Remote-Controlled Division. The vehicle must meet strict size, weight, and speed limits while navigating simulated lunar terrain.
Our work also includes an onboard system that decodes NASA radio commands to operate a camera, capture target images, and report distances without pilot intervention, followed by systems and safety validation.
Comparing natural-language semantic querying with conventional text search to explore how people retrieve information through a HoloLens 2 mixed-reality interface.
Selected Completed work
Designed an assistive robotic end-effector to support bathing for mobility-limited adults, with an emphasis on compliant contact, force awareness, and safety. Work included hybrid end-effector design, material integration, load-cell calibration, and robotic control integration.
NASA Human Exploration Rover Challenge (HERC) · University of Central Missouri. Led the Electrical and Programming subteams to a first-place national finish in the 2026 College/University Division.
Designed a Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W system for real-time environmental sensing and telemetry. Integrated soil-moisture, pH, and CO₂ sensors over BLE telementary; developed MicroPython firmware for synchronized polling; Validated integration and performance, including a four-day runtime test.
