Recycled Wire-Gate Carabiner (IDEA 212)01Selected work
Additive Manufacturing & 3D PrintingCourse Instructor: 3D Printing, From Design to Product
A full-credit university course I created and teach every fall semester, where every student builds a printer to keep. The course covers primitive and parametric CAD, how printers work (motion systems and thermal management), building and maintaining printers, writing code and custom slicing profiles, and designing for the 3D printing process.
Mechanical EngineeringParabolic Arch Bridge (IDEA 210)
A 3 ft arch bridge that tied the university record, carrying 175 lb at 6.6 lb self-weight.
Architecture & Spatial Design12 Strangers & The Hub
A bicycle repair table with twelve work bays in a circle, and an inside-outside shelter that turns it into a neighborhood bike shop.
Fluid Dynamics ResearchHelical Ribbon Sedimentation & Mobility Tensors
Senior thesis research in the Voth Group: measuring the full mobility tensors of a twisted particle sinking through fluid.

03About
I'm a Wesleyan University student studying Physics and Integrated Design, Engineering, Arts & Society, with a concentration in Mechanical & Materials Engineering.
I research how twisted particles sink through fluids in the Voth Group, run the university's large-format 3D printer, teach a course on 3D printing, and founded WesEngineering, Wesleyan's first engineering club. Before college I raced as a UCI-licensed cyclist in India and built my own aerodynamic equipment.
