Thesis objective: developing acoustic focusing as a method for assembling sub-mm particles in multiphase composites. This work was completed in the Device Realization Lab, MIT (PI: Dr. Brian Anthony). For more information, please see this page

In this class, students learn the fundamental concepts and experimental techniques for measuring physical variables. The class centers around each student's individual semester-long research project, supported by a team of professors, lab instructors, lab managers, communication instructors, and teaching assistants.

From September 2020 to December 2023, I alternated between two roles: teaching assistant and lab/prof (lab instructor). As a teaching assistant, my responsibilities included mentoring students by defining a viable research objective and reviewing proposed experiment setups. As a lab instructor, I was a research advisor and instructor of defined labs teaching measurement and analysis techniques. For more details, please see this page.

• Supported transformation of R&D ideas into concept designs for optical measurement of in-line process quality of fluids.

• Turned concept ideas into CAD models (ProEngineer) and machine drawings (GD&T). Early designs prototyped using Selective Laser Sintering. Final designs milled by external shop using aluminum.

• Successfully demonstrated suitability of prototypes for optical in-line measurement of fluids through experiments.

• Characterized light output of externally sourced LED light sources to assess suitability for concept design requirements and provide constructive feedback to vendors.
