VT Project & Report: Hyper Efficient Aquatic & Aerial Plane (Active Project)
VT Project & Report: Hyper Efficient Aquatic & Aerial Plane (Active Project)
For my Virginia Tech Project & Report I am on a team developing a fixed wing vehicle that can fly, land on water, operate near the surface while submerged, and then relaunch back to flight. The challenge is building a system that can survive and function across two very different environments, so I am focusing on the full architecture that makes that possible: buoyancy and ballast control, pressure based depth sensing, waterproof packaging, and safe mode transitions between air and water operation. The project is being developed with a staged validation plan that moves from bench testing to dry runs and then controlled water trials, with each test informing the next design iteration.

GT Capstone: Robotic Arterial Closure Device
GT Capstone: Robotic Arterial Closure Device
RoboClose was my Georgia Tech capstone project where I led technical integration for a mechatronic arterial closure device designed to improve access to catheterization procedures. The system combined mechanical design with embedded control and sensor feedback, including motor driven actuation and a pulse oximetry-based feedback loop that guided operation based on patient signals. I coordinated integration across mechanical and electrical subsystems and helped drive the prototype through iterative testing and refinement. Our team won first place in Georgia Tech’s interdisciplinary capstone competition, recognizing both the technical execution and the impact of the concept.

Bluetooth RC Car
Bluetooth RC Car
With free time, spare parts, and a desire to test my electrical/mechanical integration skills, I built a Bluetooth-controlled RC car to drive around my apartment from my computer. I designed the chassis and body in Fusion 360, assembled the drivetrain and electronics, and wrote Arduino code to control steering and throttle from my laptop using an HC-06 Bluetooth module. Key takeaways were packaging and wiring discipline, solder joint reliability, power distribution, and debugging at the hardware–software boundary.

Ambulatory Cardiopulmonary Auscultation Patch
Ambulatory Cardiopulmonary Auscultation Patch
I contributed to research with a wearable patch capable of capturing heart and lung sound data for ambulatory monitoring and biometric authentication research. I helped build and test the patch using nanocomponent based sensing elements with elastomer encapsulation, then supported end to end data collection on more than 40 participants. After collection, I processed raw heart sound signals using digital signal processing to clean, segment, and extract usable features from noisy data. That processed data fed machine learning workflows used to identify biometric markers and distinguish individual user profiles, and the work contributed to a publication in Advanced Sensors Research.

Ultrasonic Proximity Notification Tool: Wearable Assist Device
Ultrasonic Proximity Notification Tool: Wearable Assist Device
I built a wearable proximity alert device designed to help visually impaired users detect nearby obstacles in unfamiliar environments. I designed the enclosure and mounting approach in Fusion 360, integrated an ultrasonic distance sensor, and programmed an Arduino to convert distance readings into simple feedback through a buzzer. I assembled and soldered the electronics, then iterated through prototyping and basic testing to improve reliability, response behavior, and usability. This was a full concept-to-prototype team project, and it taught me a lot about packaging, sensor integration, and designing around real user constraints.
