About me
I design, print, test, and race things.
I'm a Physics and Integrated Design, Engineering, Arts & Society (IDEAS) major at Wesleyan University, with a concentration in Mechanical & Materials Engineering and a self-taught background in 3D printing.
What I do
- I research how twisted particles sink through fluids in the Voth Group, and write my senior thesis on it.
- I created and teach a university course on 3D printing, where every student builds a printer to keep.
- I run Wesleyan's large-format delta printer and help supervise the IDEAS makerspace.
- I co-founded WesEngineering, Wesleyan's first engineering club.
- I design 3D printed models with Middlesex Hospital, and share models online with more than 7,000 downloads.
- I raced as a UCI-licensed cyclist for the Goa state team.
