Biomechatronics
I have always been fascinated by the human form. It's ability to sustain mobility under a wide variety of circumstances is one of our greatest gifts, and I am eager to work on the preservation and augmentation of that ability. In my statement of purpose, I described several projects, and am using this page to provide more information regarding them.
- Improved Boutonniere Brace
This project was a great learning and growing process for me. The primary goal was to restore form and function of the extensor mechanism in the finger by inducing creep in tendons responsible for the deformity. The attached document is a published paper detailing the design process and initial analysis of one of the early prototypes. You can see a full page dedicated to the project here.

- Automated Tracking Camera
The capstone project I mentioned in my statement of purpose focused on product development and mechatronics. Our goal was to develop an automated system that would track and record digital media of moving objects in real time. You can see a more detailed web page about the project here. For more detailed examination, I have also provided our final report, presentation, and a provisional patent written on the concept.

- Surgical Posture Monitor
My most recent biomechanics project was the contracted development of a surgical posture monitor. Designed to prevent damage to tendons in the neck, our device sought to provide feedback to the user about head position and time spent in full flexion. You can see a more detailed web page of the project here.
