Work Experience
Mechanical Engineer
Michigan Medicine University of Michigan
- Redesigned the first open-source robotic leg by implementing a different transmission type to reduce its weight, cost, and size and to increase its efficiency and serviceability.
- Performed extensive engineering analysis to determine the loading capacity and size of the leg's transmission.
- Characterized the leg's parameters using system identification for precise modeling and controlling of the leg.
Experience
Medical Equipment Design and Control
My master's curriculum included multiple hands-on projects in system identification, designing and controlling electromechanical systems, and applying sensor technology to design smart systems. My projects also included working with data acquisition systems, sensor networks, and field deployments using internet-connected devices and real-time data streaming. Other school projects included processing, analyzing, and filtering data collected by sensors.
