Academic Projects

The following are projects I’ve worked on as a part of classes I’ve taken at Rice!

Academic

banner Wireless Egg Data Logger — Throughout the 2023-2024 academic year, I worked to create a wireless egg data logger for conservation of endangered birds for the Houston Zoo. For this project, I created a circuit utilizing a 9-DOF IMU, temperature & humidity sensor, and ESP32 MCU to transmit data to a Raspberry Pi dashboard, and also designed a custom PCB for this circuit.

banner ENGI 210 Class Projects — In Spring 2023, I took ENGI 210: Prototyping and Fabrication. In this course, we learned to use many of the machines in the Oshman Engineering Design Kitchen, such as the 3D printers, laser cutter, water jet cutter, and CNC mill through a series of multi-week projects. You can view some of my completed projects here.
banner Water Leak Sensing Device — In the fall of 2022, I worked on a project team to create a water leak sensing device for the Rice Office of Sustainability. Our final product utilized non-invasive analog sensors, an Arduino, and an ESP8266 to detect abnormal levels of water flow and send email notifications to alert staff to these conditions.
