ABOUT ME

Thanks for stopping by

I'm a master's student at MIT studying mechanical engineering, and am passionate about building things to improve both my own skills and the world around me. My current research focuses on developing a magnetically levitated gyroscope for satellite attitude control. From high school robotics to Formula SAE, I have a long-standing interest in hands-on mechanical design and coding. Have a look at my past projects under the headers above, and feel free to reach out with any questions.

HIGHLIGHTED PROJECTS

V1 & V2 PLANETARY GEARBOX

Starting in May 2020, I led a team of MIT Motorsports students to develop a custom single-stage high power density planetary gearbox. Fitting within a 5" form factor, our gearbox can transmit over 20 kW in mechanical power. We went through two major design iterations and a complete testing cycle for our first prototype.

SPROCKET-DRIVE POWERTRAIN

Beginning development in 2021, the subteam I led on MIT Motorsports created a sprocket-driven, hanging differential powertrain for the aft wheels on an electric racecar. Rated for 69 kW, and weighing only 19kg, we prioritized manufacturability and reliability while also maintaining competitive performance.

KINESTHETIC ROBOTIC GRIPPER

In the summer of 2021, I worked with the MIT Bioememetic Robotics Lab to develop a low reflected-inertia single degree-of-freedom gripper. Taking advantage of motor dynamics to measure applied load allows for better environmental interaction, and accordingly, this design was optimized to permit nearly direct drive between the fingers and the motor.
