Projects
A $400 robotic arm that picks and places real objects at 96% success, combining computer vision, a fine-tuned grasp model, and a vision-language-action policy on a Jetson Nano.
Modeling and experimentally validating interface strength in FFF-printed functionally graded materials, comparing direct, interlocked, and gradient transitions.
Doctoral work on low-cost FFF fabrication of multi-material structures with graded properties: design, fabrication, characterization, and multi-scale modeling.
An NSF-funded immersive VR lab built in Unreal Engine for engineering and manufacturing education, with design, fabrication, and testing rooms.
Applied R&D with Flowserve exploring 3D-printed mold patterns as a low-cost alternative to conventional tooling for lost-foam casting; ~40% cost reduction on target parts.
