Accomplishments
- Projects
- Robotic Arm Sonographer Assist
- Spring 2023
- Worked with a team to complete a robotic sonography machine to reduce the physical strain which leads to musculoskeletal disorders in the majority of sonographers worldwide
- The robotic arm will operate almost independently to provide the force necessary for imaging to occur
- This machine will be implemented in Meriter Hospital in order to demonstrate a safer alternative to workplace regulators
- Simple Bioreactor and Bone Graft Injection Material
- Spring 2022
- Design and fabricate a simple bioreactor that controls temperature and pH levels in cultivating samples
- In addition, a coralline hydroxyapatite bone graft will be designed and cultivated in the bioreactor
- Transparent Human Head Surrogate
- Fall 2021
- Designed and tested an anatomically correct, completely transparent surrogate brain and skull with comparable mechanical properties
- The project aimed to prove the existence of microcavitations during traumatic brain injuries by imaging them through a transparent medium.
