Additive ManufacturingCourse Instructor: 3D Printing: From Design to Product
A full-credit university course I created and teach every fall semester, where every student builds and gets to keep a 3D printer.
Mechanical EngineeringRecycled Wire-Gate Carabiner (IDEA 212)
A carabiner built from the pen clips of empty Uni One pens, with a locking gate and a heat transfer analysis of the plastic weld that holds it together.
Architecture & Spatial Design12 Strangers & The Hub (ARST 235)
A bicycle repair table with twelve work bays in a circle, and a shelter that turns it into a neighborhood bike shop.
Fluid Dynamics ResearchMobility Tensor Quantification
A senior thesis on understanding how shape affects motion, so we can make particles move as designed.

About me
I'm a Wesleyan University student double majoring in Physics and Integrated Design, Engineering, Arts & Society, with a concentration in Mechanical & Materials Engineering.
I'm a researcher in the Voth Fluid Dynamics Group, instructor for a Wesleyan accredited course in 3D printing, monitor for the university's makerspace, course assistant for physics and engineering courses, and co-founder of WesEngineering, Wesleyan's first engineering club. Before college I raced as a UCI-licensed cyclist in India and designed and built my own aerodynamic equipment.
