Biomedical hardware, built and tested.

Biomedical engineer at Georgia Tech. I build sensors, robots, and the systems that test them.

I'm a biomedical engineering student at Georgia Tech with a minor in computer science. I've built optical and battery test systems at WHOOP, automated validation at Avanos Medical, and led mechanical design on a prosthetic arm.

Portrait coming soon.

BetCircle

A prediction market for friend groups, with per-category Elo ratings setting the odds.

Research

Physiology of Wearable Robotics Lab

Undergraduate Research Assistant, May 2025 to present

Designed EMG acquisition protocols for 50+ human-subject studies and built MATLAB pipelines for time-series analysis and real-time control.

Structured Information for Precision Neuroengineering Lab

Undergraduate Research Assistant, Dec 2024 to May 2025

Built 40+ test cases and Brian2 simulation environments for closed-loop electrophysiology, modeling neural dynamics under raster-scanned calcium imaging.
