Projects
Reaching for the Future - Prosthesis Research
This project was a research paper and presentation on both arm and leg prosthetics. The research paper highlights the past, present, and future innovations of prosthetics.
The entire project was voted the #1 in the class and is still used as an example for future classes.
Veterinary Medical Device - Noninvasive Bone-Fracture Therapy
Aggies Invent VetMed was a 48 hour intensive, team-building design competition for all students. It was specifically targeted toward Veterinary and Engineering students who were tasked with designing a medical device for the specific problem the participant chose.
My team, Autocorrect, developed an alternative to broken bone surgery. Our device used electrostimulation to promote bone growth and decrease pain. We won third out of eleven teams. Learn more about our research and project by clicking the "Autocorrect Presentation" button.
Certificate in Architectural/Mechanical Drafting
Summer program consisting of three courses covering three different drafting software: Revit, Solidworks, and AutoCAD. Each course covered basic skills and tools necessary to create projects in all three software, whether those projects were Architectural or Mechanical.
Revit - Warehouse Project
SolidWorks - Engineering Part Drafting Project
AutoCad - Classroom Layout Project
Technical Report: Stem Cell Research
The amount of innovation that can happen on a cellular level has always been an interest of mine. This personal project gave me a deeper knowledge of the past and current research, experiments, and improvements that are related to stem cells.
Not only did I get to learn and understand more
about stem cell research but I learned how to write up a technical report in a professional and comprehensible format.

Medical Device Make-a-thon
The Medical Device Make-a-thon was a Nationwide, 72 hour event held at Texas A&M. In under 22 hours, my team created and presented a solution to the pain of an ICD defibrillation by attaching a third lead to the outside of the heart through the coronary sinus vein which directs the charge through the heart but back to the ICD instead of letting the charge travel through the thoracic cavity which is the primary cause for chest pain after an ICD fires. In both rounds of presentations we presented in front of a panel of over 10 cardiovascular industry specialists. We scored 3rd overall and received a $800 scholarship.

1st Place Art Project 2023
"The Creation of Atom" is a rendition of Michael Angelo's famous painting, "The Creation of Adam". I entered this art piece into the A&M Biomedical Engineering department's annual art contest. After winning first place, my piece was hung on the 5th floor of the Emerging Technology Building and several articles were written about the piece.

My Rendition
BMEN 469 - Edema Detection Device Summer 2024
First Draft
Over the summer (2024) I had the opportunity to travel to Belgium and study Biomedical Entrepreneurship (BMEN 469) with one of A&M's esteemed faculty Dr. Saurabh Biswas who taught the course abroad. Our final project for the course was to develop a product and present it focusing on the business aspects rather than the technical design.
The product my team and I developed was a hand-held device that could detect edema using SEM (sub-epidermal moisture) technology. The device was theoretical, but I worked on the design aspects that played many rolls in the efficacy, marketability, and cost of the product.

Trombone coil for 3T Small Animal MR Imaging 2024-2025
Unshielded RF Trombone Coil
Background: The traditional design of a radiofrequency (RF) birdcage coil is advantageous in producing a strong, homogeneous magnetic field for MRI scans [1]. However, constructing such a coil is time-consuming, particularly due to the large number of capacitors relative to other RF coils. Moreover, these minor adjustments can cause difficulty re-tuning a single-tuned birdcage coil, effectively inhibiting its use for multinuclear studies where only a single transmit coil may be utilized.
Aim: This project seeks to supplement this issue by creating a birdcage coil for small animal scanning that is adjustable through inductance, which can be varied by the length of the coil rather than capacitance. This facilitates an easier, more efficient tuning method.
