12lb (5.6 kg) device is capable of lifting 20 lbs (9 kg). The device was fully modeled in Matlab and tested using motion capture and a force sensor at the tool mount point.

Co-lead for gas-spring powered pantograph arm exoskeleton
13 lb (6.1 kg) device requires no motors and can lift 20 lbs (9 kg). The device was also modeled in Matlab, complete with data-sheet-accurate gas spring and tested using motion capture and a force sensor.
2020 - 2021
Co-lead for motor-adjusted, gas-spring powered pantograph arm exoskeleton
This preliminary device could lift 20 lbs and served as a proof-of-concept for the following two exoskeletons. This device was tested with a force sensor.
2019 - 2020
Primary designer for pantograph arm implementation in above three projects
Due to time constraints we needed to use the same arm design for the above three projects. Extruded square tubing was used for ease of manufacturing.
2019 - 2020
Co-lead for low-profile pantograph arm exoskeleton (senior design)
We had 3 leads for our design team of 14 students. After the initial concept development phase, I ended up focusing on a low-profile pantograph primarily.

Primary Designer for stretched-fabric leg pads for a material lifting exoskeleton
The new design reduced the original’s weight, remained washable, and heavily simplified the manufacturing process.
2018
Assisted with fabrication for material lifting exoskeletons
I was extensively involved with the fabrication of many of the lab’s exoskeletons while an undergrad. This required sewing, precise bandsaw cuts, sheet metal bending, drilling, tapping, etc.
2018 - 2019
Modeled a cam-based alternative for lifting exoskeleton structure (unused)
While the Assistive Robotics Lab lifting exoskeleton was still in the design phase, I was the primary designer for an alternative model, which unfortunately didn’t end up helping the design.

Firebender LED Glove. (1button, 6 states)
Animated effects on long button press & on release. Short button taps are detected to discretely switch between “fire” and “lightning” modes.
2019
“The Beast” LED Eyes (2 buttons, 5-ish states)
One button “clicked” for mode switching. The other is held down for varying effects on press & release.

Event Organization
150+ person participation week-long residential hall boardgame event.
Halls were pitted against each other with incentives to involve residents (at the tail end of Covid, with five masked residents in room at a time with sanitization). The residential hall plans on repeating the event as a tradition.
spring 2021
Weekly volleyball planning and advertising for residential hall
100+ students participated during a 6 month semester (masked students with numbers keeping to Virginia recommendations at the time).
spring 2021
Weekly socially distanced and sanitized event coordination
Planning distanced use of outdoor spaces and making purchases in keeping with university policies for events with a guest speaker and <50 students.
fall 2019 – spring 2021
Assistance towards various Hall Council and RA events
