As R&D Lab Technician, Supported the development of “E-Brick” electro-ceramic refractory material, from early R&D to first manufacture.
Luke Saindon and I during my transfer of knowlege presentation to bluShift engineers and technicians
As Advanced R&D Intern at bluShift Aerospace, I expanded the companies manufacturing capabilities by developing a composite filament winding program to produce rocket components such as fuselages and fuel tanks.
TinyLev sound pressure field when using all 72 transducers
As a cumulative project for Experimental Physics I did a systematic analysis of the TinyLev acoustic levitation platform. The TinyLev has antiparallel parabolic arrays of ultrasonic transducers to create standing waves that can support lightweight objects. I analyzed the sound pressure fields created by different arrangements of 72 transducers and explored the limits of the device's capabilities.
A test run of the infrared camera. The heat of the hand is shown on the LED "display"
As a sophomore at Bowdoin, I designed and built an infrared camera from the ground up, calibrating individual infrared sensors, interpreting data using solid state electronics, and displaying that data on a LED array.
