A lighter, stronger prosthetic wrist.
Mechanical Engineering Team Lead, Georgia Tech Medical Robotics, Sept 2023 to Dec 2025
Owned electromechanical integration of a trans-radial prosthetic arm across a 17-member team, then redesigned its multi-DOF wrist.

Multi-DOFwrist, CAD and dynamic FEA
Lighterwrist mass, same targets met
Inside the arm
Actuation, sensing and structure had to fit inside a forearm-sized shell. Pull the arm apart, then compare the original and redesigned wrist under the same load.
Peak stress, relative100%
Factor of safetybaseline
Drag to rotate. Simplified geometry and illustrative stress field; team CAD and FEA to come.
Integration
Defined the actuation, sensing and structural interfaces so each sub-team could build to the same envelope.
Wrist redesign
Modeled the multi-DOF wrist in 3D CAD and iterated FEA under dynamic loading to hit torque and range-of-motion targets, raising factor of safety 35% while cutting weight.
