I research, design, make, and race things.
About Me ↓
Woodstock School: 3D Printing Instructor01Selected work
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.
Fluid Dynamics ResearchMobility Tensor Quantification
Understanding how shape affects motion, so we can make particles move as designed.
Object and 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.

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.
