I am a Princeton University student studying Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. I work to develop my skills in design and manufacturing, and excel in leadership through strong communication and presentation skills.
Projects
Arduino Chip Programmer
July-August 2024 | Princeton Microprocessors and Controls Lab
Rendered, prototyped, and manufactured a PCB that allows for ATmega328 and ATtiny85 chips to be programmed using either FTDI or an AVR Pocket Programmer. Utilized Fusion360 and Eagle for modeling; developed PLA casing using 3D printing; and created aluminum base plate using CNC machining. Product is to be used for programming bootloader/scripts onto several chips for a microprocessors design course.
Laser-Cut Acrylic Signs
July-August 2024 | Princeton Microprocessors and Controls Lab
Developed prototypes of acrylic signs that will be used in the future for displaying contact and equipment safety information. Tested different power and DPI settings to find an acceptable cut depth, then poured acrylic paint across the pieces to make text and QR codes visible.
Plastic Track-Aligning Piece
June-July 2024 | Princeton Microprocessors and Controls Lab
Designed and manufactured HDPE/Delrin parts for aligning railroad tracks in a model railway system. Utilized Fusion360 for modeling and creating G-Code; used CNC machine to produce several prototypes and finished products. Additionally designed cutout into wooden project boards to adequately house the piece. Product is to be used to aid students in aligning tracks between project boards for a microprocessors design course.
Dashboard User Interface
October 2022-April 2023 | Princeton Racing Electric
Designed and wrote code for the user interface of the MK2 car dashboard for Princeton Racing Electric (PRE). Was responsible for the initial concept and sketch done in Figma, then worked with team to develop HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code to receive/display vital information about the car, including speed and battery life.
Research and Publications
Head-Tracking Accuracy Investigation
February-May 2024 | Princeton 3D3A Lab
Developed an experiment to investigate and compare the accuracy and precision of three head-tracking methods available to the lab using Max8 and MATLAB. Built upon existing software and documentation for the lab's equipment to take head position measurements in all 6 degrees of freedom for 10-second intervals across a 100x400 cm grid in the XY-plane. Presented data to professor and lab staff, which was then used to make decisions on which method to use for the lab’s work and inspire further investigation into other head-tracking methods.
Multi-Loudspeaker BRIR Dataset
October 2023-April 2024 | Princeton 3D3A Lab
Recorded and analyzed binaural room-impulse response data using a speaker array for a stationary "dummy head" equipped with two in-ear microphones. Dummy head was moved using a translation stage into different positions in the XY-plane, at which measurements were taken using existing lab software and Max8 scripts. Was partially responsible for running this process, as well as compiling and processing data by building new code off of existing MATLAB scripts. Worked under grad student Yue Qiao to provide figures and assist with editing for final publication.
