Past & Current Work

Assistive Batting Machine
As a part of a Mechanical Engineering design course, ME 2212, a group of my peers and I set out to create a design which could assist differently-abled athletes of the local Miracle League play baseball in a more immersive way, while also maintaining necessary safety requirements.
This required us to review the existing landscape, ideate a design, and create a feasible 3D model in SolidWorks. We then gave a presentation on the validity of our design to representatives of both the League and ME department. This project required utilisation of every mode of communication. While this was a group project, I ended up taking point on a greater portion of the workload. For example, the presentation slides, which can be viewed below, were coded entirely by me in LaTeX.
Astronomical
Research
Papers
Over the course of my studies, I have had the opportunity to write research papers on various astronomy-based topics of personal interest. One of these served as the foundation for the presentation I delivered at Astronomy on Tap.
​
Writing papers such as these helped to begin my understanding of how modern research is done. Additionally, rather than write them in a traditional word processor, I taught myself LaTeX and Overleaf, which is the prevailing standard in science and engineering publications.

Coding Experience
The below examples serve to display the coding skills in various industry-standard languages that I have gained throughout courses during my undergrad.
MatLab
These are two MatLab scripts I wrote for my final project in ME 2543 - Simulation Methods. The first solves a provided system of non-linear equations using a Jacobian approach, and the second seeks to solve Kepler's equation for planetary motion. While the project was done with a group, I alone authored and edited these two scripts.
Caesarean Encrypter
The above code, written in C++, can encrypt or decrypt user-provided strings with a standard Caesarean cipher and a key provided by the user. This served as my final project for CSC 1253 - Computer Science.
Machine Learning
My final project for PHYS 2411 - Computational Science, written in Python on Google Colab, in which I built and trained a Convolutional Neural Network to classify handwritten letter characters in an example dataset.
Formula SAE
I am a member of LSU's Formula SAE team, TigerRacing. Each year, the team designs, fabricates, and assembles an electric race car from scratch for the purpose of competing at various national events.
​
I am a member of the Aerodynamics and Tractive System subsystems. Projects I am assisting with include:
-
Researching airfoil designs with XFLR5
-
Investigating and modelling performance of our electric motor (EMRAX 208)
-
Preparing simulations with OptimumLap & Simscale
