Undergraduate Researcher & R&D Engineer

Case Western Reserve University

Led concept-to-validation development of instrumentation and embedded systems across four research projects spanning sensing, motion control, haptics, and computer vision.

• Designed a custom LVDT read-out board in KiCad achieving sub-micron displacement with < 5 µV RMS noise at 300 Hz sampling.
• Wrote MCU + Python/GUI software for acquisition, filtering, logging, and closed-loop motion control with PID-tuned DC motor control.
• Built a motorized capture rig (ESP32 + stepper driver) with Structure-from-Motion pipeline for 3D arm mesh reconstruction.
• Integrated OpenHaptics and CHAI3D for a virtual environment with tuned force-feedback control.
• Built a CNN-based vision model for surgical force estimation; co-authored publication in Journal of Medical Robotics Research (2024).
• Curated and optimized a 200,000+ image dataset; built Amazon Mechanical Turk GUI for ground-truth labeling.
