Senior Design Project: Kayak Crank
• Partnered with Bay Cliff Health Camp and successful designed an adaptive kayak that targeted
individuals with cerebral palsy
• Used in and out of water testing to verify and validate design inputs/outputs and specifications
• Used solid modeling to create and adjust subsystems as well as assemble the final product
• Performed documentation and maintained contact with client through meetings and weekly memos
Case Western/ClevelandClinicBME Virtual Internship, Waverly, WV Summer 2020
COVID-19 Mask Design Project
• Used solid modeling to demonstrate shape of the final design
• Created a prototype to test the feasibility of the product
• Developed a DIY cloth mask design with a higher filtration efficiency than
typical cloth masks worn by the public
Porcine XenographResearchProject, Terre Haute, IN Winter 2020
Biomechanical Model and Biomaterial Analysis
• Researched the proposal of porcine ligament xenographs as a potential solution to
patients with permanent ankle ligament damage to reduce chronic ankle pain and dysfunction
• Used biomechanical model to evaluate effects on human ligaments
• Analyzed Instron material testing of porcine ligaments and compared with material properties
of human ankle ligaments found in previous studies
