EPIC Intelligent Prosthetic Controls Lab

• Georgia Tech | Atlanta, Georgia

• Undergraduate Researcher

  • Aug 2017 - May 2019

  I worked with the EPIC lab in utilizing machine learning algorithms to detect user intent. Additionally I implemented sensor fusion techniques such as Kalman filtering with IMU, goniometer, and EMG data to create phase portraits and gait loops.

  • May 2018 - Aug 2018

  I implemented Cartesian and force motion controllers on a 3-DOF robotic arm for potential future planetary body sampling. In addition, I developed post-processing algorithms to calculate gravity compensation and cutting forces for various sampling tools.

AMBER Bipedal Robotics Lab

• Caltech | Pasadena, CA

• Undergraduate Researcher

  • May 2017 - Aug 2017

  During the summer, I worked on manifesting a 1-Dimensional Hopping robot which utilizes a clutch style mechanism to store and release energy between hops. Half of my summer was spent on analyzing the hybrid affine system and developing a controller optimized for energy efficiency. The other half was spent designing and machining the hopping robot on a 3-axis CNC mill.
