Mechanical Engineering Portfolio
Here are some of my mechanical engineering related projects, showcasing my expertise in design, analysis, manufacturing, and control systems.
Robotic Pipette End Effector
High-precision robotic liquid handling system with 50µL target achieving 5µL ±0.5µL accuracy for UR5e integration at Brookhaven National Lab. Designed and 3D printed integrated system combining precision mounting, dual actuator control, and quick swap functionality. Features internal cabling through robot's tool exchanger, RS485 communication, and full ROS2 integration.
SBU Rocket Team for NASA SLI
Successfully completed NASA Student Launch Initiative on May 1st, 2025, achieving 4,700 feet altitude with our 105-inch, 21-pound rocket. Ranked 24th out of 53 teams with full STEMNaut payload recovery and comprehensive telemetry data collection. Led cross-team coordination and provided technical support across vehicle and payload systems.
PID Turntable Control System
PID-controlled turntable system designed to accurately follow user-defined waveforms generated by a wave generator. The project successfully demonstrated the ability of both analog and digital control systems to track a target waveform, highlighting the trade-offs between the two control approaches in terms of performance and implementation complexity.
Remote Controlled Ackermann Arduino Car
Bluetooth-controlled Arduino car with custom-designed four-bar mechanism for Ackermann steering instead of differential speed control. The project successfully demonstrated the integration of Bluetooth communication with both motor and steering control, resulting in a functional and responsive remote-controlled car with proper steering geometry.
Custom Hard Drive Holder
Cost-effective, thermally efficient solution for housing multiple hard drives during proof-of-space cryptocurrency mining operations. The design incorporated computer case fans for active cooling to address the heat generated by the drives during operation. The project successfully resulted in a functional and efficient hard drive holder that met the specific requirements of the mining setup.
