Mechanical Engineering Intern

  • Reconstructed an equine MRI cart from incomplete hand sketches and legacy product information, developing a complete Fusion 360 assembly with 200+ components, updated interfaces, and manufacturing drawings.
  • Adapted the MRI cart architecture for compatibility with the Siemens MAGNETOM Free.Max system, incorporating scanner-envelope, tabletop-interface, hospital-use, and equipment-clearance constraints.
  • Audited and corrected 40+ legacy parts, assemblies, and drawings while developing assembly instructions and technical reports in collaboration with fabricators to verify dimensions, fabrication details, and build sequence.

Undergraduate Research Assistant

  • Built and annotated a custom image dataset for bubble detection and instance-segmentation models, organizing microscopy frames and labels for training, validation, and performance evaluation.
  • Developed a Python/OpenCV pipeline that converted segmented bubble contours into calibrated geometric measurements, including equivalent diameter, projected area, and estimated three-dimensional volume.
  • Generated quantitative bubble-property data and visualizations for ongoing flow-boiling research, with results contributing to a potential peer-reviewed publication.
