Undergraduate Course Projects
This section highlights many of the projects I worked on while in the Biomedical Engineering Department at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Team projects have the names of each team member at the bottom of the project page. For team projects I have attempted to highlight the specific parts of the project that I worked on, where possible; however, some projects had the entire team collaborating on each aspect of the project.

Senior Design
BMME 697 and BMME 698
My Senior Design group developed DeltaDose–a disposable, hand-held device for delivering an atomized metered dose of medication intranasally. DeltaDose provides non-medically trained personnel a way to safely administer medication in emergency situations. According to the Tactical Combat Casualty Care (tCCC)...

LifeCheck: An Awareness Monitoring Device for Patients Under Conscious Sedation
APPL 465 – Biomedical Instrumentation
I led a three-student project development team as part of Biomedical Instrumentation in the spring of my junior year (Spring 2014). For this project, we interviewed an anesthesiologist to discover existing needs in the emergency room. From this conversation, we...

Rotating Biochamber Manufacturing Project
APPL 310 – BME Design & Manufacturing II
This project was intended to introduce several basic and modern manufacturing technologies in common use in (biomedical) engineering companies. The focus was placed on the manufacturing processes themselves, so the design for the acrylic pieces and SolidWorks part were provided...

FDM Rapid Manufacturing Project
APPL 210 – BME Design & Manufacturing I
This project was the first opportunity in the BME design sequence to design and print a SolidWorks model of our choosing. Previous to this project, I acquired solid modeling proficiency through SolidWorks tutorial sequence. I developed spinning top with engraved...

Navajo Bridge Reverse Engineering Project
APPL 160 – Statics
The final project for Intro to Materials Science was a reverse engineering project. For the project, we were asked to reverse-engineer the 1994 Navajo bridge which spans the Grand Canyon in a remote area of northern Arizona. The instructions were...
