I am a Princeton University student studying Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, with a strong passion for acoustics and live sound. I explore projects in research, engineering design, and the performing arts, displaying strong leadership and creativity.
Notable Projects
Train Cargo Unloading System
Feb-May 2025 | Princeton MAE412 - Microprocessors for Measurement and Control
Oversaw wiring of an autonomous railway system involving a motorized claw for loading and unloading cargo off of a train car. Soldered connections as necessary; tested hall-effect sensors; documented all circuits using EagleCAD in the Fusion360 software. Collaborated with team on building computer from scratch given chips and Vector board; development and debugging of assembly and Arduino code; and board layout for organized cable management.
Parameter Influence on PSZ Performance
Sept 2024-Apr 2025 | Princeton 3D3A Lab,
MAE339/340 - Junior Independent Work
Conducted simulations of the performance of the lab’s personal sound zone (PSZ) system to analyze how changes in zone radius, control point spacing, loss function weights, and filter length impact isolation performance and computational metrics. Dozens of ML models for woofer and tweeter drivers were trained on Princeton’s computing clusters; results were gathered by playing short sweeps and compiled into graphs using MATLAB. Filter length was found to have significant impacts on isolation performance; zone radius, control point spacing, and filter length had significant effects on model training time and dataset storage space.
Arduino Chip Programmer
July-Aug 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.
Pageant Pending: Tour Edition
A1, Asst. Sound Designer - Princeton Triangle Club
Directed by Sam Hay | Book by The Princeton Triangle Club Writers Workshop
Managed the live mix of 20 actors and 15 band musicians through 6 venues and performances across the Midwestern, Southern, and Eastern US. Displayed rapid troubleshooting skills and adaptability, collaborating with sound designer to fit PA system to each new location. Utilized the Yamaha CL3 console. Gained experience with RF coordination for Sennheiser wireless.
Sound design by John Wallar.
