Design & Deployment of a Remote Aerosol Research Facility

Design & Analysis

End-to-end development of a remote aerosol research facility, including design and fabrication of a custom inlet system, construction of a container-based lab, and installation of the inlet, structural supports, and instruments at a remote site in the Wasatch Mountains.

(Thesis) Modeling Secondary Air Quality Impacts of Shrinking Saline Lakes

Instrumentation & Field Work

Extended the GEOS-Chem global air-quality model to simulate chloride-rich dust from shrinking saline lakes, and used the framework I developed to quantify how chloride-rich dust from shrinking saline lakes might be altering regional air-quality in the western United States.

(Thesis) Analyzing the Softening Behavior of Brain Vessels

Data & Visualization

Developed data processing and modeling tools to quantify softening behavior of cerebral vessels from experimental and imaging-based measurements.

Subaru Camper

Mechanical Design & Fabrication

Designed and built a modular camper system inside a Subaru, including a raised sleeping platform, integrated storage, and vehicle-safe mounting hardware for extended road trips and field travel.

CNC Plotter

Mechatronics & Prototyping

Built a desktop CNC plotter using stepper motors, belt drives, and a microcontroller to convert digital vector drawings into precise physical motion.

(Capstone) Glass Autoloader

Mechanical Engineering & Automation

Designed and implemented an automated system for safely handling and loading large glass sheets in an industrial manufacturing environment.
