Projects
Check out my projects! Below are three highlight projects I completed during undergrad. Two projects are school projects and one is an internship projects.
Solidworks Model of Redesign
Senior Capstone Project: B-52 Urinal Redesign​
As part of LSU’s Capstone Design Program, this project addresses a critical human-factors issue aboard the B-52 Stratofortress, where the antiquated urinal system has forced some aircrew—particularly female pilots—to rely on buckets, creating discomfort and contributing to tactical dehydration that degrades mission performance. Our team developed a redesigned seated urinal system compatible with existing aircraft infrastructure to improve comfort, sanitation, and overall crew health.
My primary contributions included defining the project objectives and functional requirements, performing engineering analysis on the leg-locking mechanism to ensure structural safety, and managing the project budget and spending as team treasurer. The image shown represents the final CAD model of the proposed system, reflecting the culmination of our design, analysis, and integration efforts
Control Systems Project: Automated Balancing System
This controls project involved the design, construction, and testing of an automated balancing system that uses real-time feedback control to maintain a ping-pong ball at the center of a tilting platform, demonstrating core principles of closed-loop control and PID tuning.
I served as the primary point of contact between our team and the instructor, coordinated and physically managed all project components during the build process, and led the testing and validation phase to evaluate system performance and stability. The image shown on my portfolio corresponds to the final assembled system featured on the presentation cover, and the accompanying PowerPoint includes a short video demonstrating the system actively balancing the ball in real time.

KOA Internship Project: Solar Panel Car Shade
The image shown represents a proposed solar car-shade project developed during my internship, with the left side showing the existing parking lot and the right side illustrating a conceptual rendering of how the solar panel canopy could have looked once installed (this is a visual representation, not the final built structure). The project focused on designing a solar panel system that would generate renewable energy while providing shaded parking for employees and visitors—an especially practical solution in Orlando, Florida, given the intense summer heat and strong solar potential. Although the project was not completed, it involved extensive research, technical analysis, and professional communication, including learning how kilowatt output translates to cost savings and energy efficiency, and presenting the proposal to company executives and managers strengthened my skills in feasibility analysis, sustainability planning, and stakeholder engagement.
