Project team under the club Bioprinting @ Berkeley, where we have been conducting continuing research and rapid prototyping of a functional bionic arm using SolidWorks & other CAD programs.
This technical team is composed of folks from different engineering backgrounds (Bioengineering, EECS, Mechanical Engineering). We are devoted to assembling a prosthetic arm to grab items, have full-finger mobility, and maybe even shake your hand. :)
Produced an electromechanical prosthetic arm in a cross-functional undergraduate team using Onshape.
Validated post-production of 3D-printed parts to resemble a functional moving arm.
Skills Utilized
SolidWorks, Onshape
Cross-functional Collaboration
Design Constraints
Material Properties
Final Research Project | Spring 2024
Quantified various delamination rates of a pacemaker lead by testing different materials of insulators and chemical reactions at the lead-insulator interface using COMSOL.
Researched material properties of strong insulators and applied assumptions of fluid mechanics to simplify our model and diffusion equations.
Skills Utilized
COMSOL Simulation
Fluid Mechanics
Diffusion of mass (Fick's Laws)

The presentation slides from our final deliverable "FarmQuest" highlight the progress, functionality, user feedback, and limitations of our deliverable for Castlemont High School.
The Fung Fellowship at UC Berkeley's Fung Institute for Engineering Leadership centers on human-centered design principles to advance innovative solutions for biodiversity, environmental health, and conservation.
In collaboration with the Fung Fellowship 23-24 community partners: Civic Design Studio and Castlemont High School, our final team deliverable proposed printable educational activities to enhance student engagement and educational activities of biodiversity, conservation practices, and Indigenous land practices within Castlemont High School's farm.
As the hardware design lead, I focused on the 3D design and prototyping of the honeycomb-shaped housing, modeling in SolidWorks, and rapid prototyping with PLA plastic. Additionally, I designed the prototype's circuitry with TinkerCAD and electrical parts.
September 2023 - December 2023
A 6-week virtual innovation program with a cohort of undergraduate and graduate students from UC Berkeley and the University of Nairobi in Kenya. In this program, we learned about enhancing engineering solutions for low-resource environments through biomedical design, collaboration, ethics, and entrepreneurship.
Our team's final deliverable proposed enhancements to oxygen concentrators in low-resource environments through a durable, portable oxygen concentrator powered by solar energy, and modeling in SolidWorks.
The presentation slides from our final deliverable presentation propose enhancements to the oxygen concentrator for solar power functionality, durability, and portability in low-resource environments.
