Laser-driven micro-impact platform — velocities up to 4 km/s, ~10⁸ s⁻¹ strain rates. Multilayer thin-film coatings for 8–24 ns loading durations. Structural damping attenuating >90% of vibration transmission. Also collaborating with RoMeLa on a welding robot for autonomous operation in hazardous ship environments; designed the 5-DOF Cake Icing System (Fall 2025).

Designing and developing an autonomous welding robot for hazardous ship environments, focusing on mechanism design, motion planning, and integration of sensing and actuation systems for operation in unstructured and unsafe conditions.

2-DOF gantry for a bio-inspired eel robot. >90% vibration attenuation; optimized low-friction tube-routing.

Real-time deep learning for sign language in VR. AI-driven educational game: 195% improvement in learning outcomes. IEEE ICRoM 2022.

Plant-wide introduction to all production departments, followed by an embedded role in Production Planning. Worked with BOM structures, tracked part changes, and analyzed ECN/ECR workflows to identify coordination gaps between departments.

Full-pipeline exposure to automotive production (press, body, paint, assembly, quality control). Hands-on in the body shop — resistance spot welding on the production line, troubleshooting welding robots with the maintenance team, and geometric measurement and inspection.
