projects

Here you will find both personal, and school projects I've worked on. There are 3D models of designs I either came up with, scanned (with much repairing work done), or altered. In addition, there are some programs I've coded using Python (self-taught). Models created using Solidworks, Autodesk Inventor, Fusion 360, Blender, Meshmixer, and Meshlab.

Similar Culture Finder (web tool)

Using Hofstede's cultural dimensions theory, I developed a way to calculate a Third Culture Kid's (TCK) personal culture, based on their upbringing. The full formula can be read on my GitHub page here. The link to the tool is here.

Bike handle designed for airflow under fingers, and to save on material costs

ENME 617: Advanced manufacturing project, 2018, re-designing a satellite antenna bracket to be manufactured through a chosen process. (Used a combination of Solidworks, Blender, and Meshmixer)

Photogrammetry Work

In the spirit of all things 3D, I do photogrammetry of different subjects when I have the chance to. In general, I use Meshroom and then fix up the models afterwards in either Meshmixer, or Blender, or a combination of the two.

A felled beech tree I stumbled upon. I took 42 pics with my Phone and stitched them with Meshroom, then did model cleanup on Blender

The highest church on the island of Sifnos in Greece. I took 42 pics with my Phone and stitched them with Meshroom, then did model cleanup on Blender.

Scanned a crested San Pedro cactus and made a Pastel Series. Used meshroom and Blender to reconstruct and make the scene.

One of the 3D scans I made, using just my phone camera and free photogrammetry and repairing software

These models were found online, but I altered them to be more 3D printable (hollowed them, sliced off small sections, added more texture), and then I printed them on the Form 2 and painted them with acrylics

I first sprayed this hornet I found with an anti-reflective powder, and then used a 3shape scanner to make a the 3D model; there was a lot of repairing involved with such an intricate and translucent model

Tested PDMS casting by printing master molds with Formlab's Form 2 printer as well as a Stratsys FDM Machine. Made several variations using materials and quality. All done at Potomac Photonics.

This is one of the PDMS objects I casted. I researched ways to make the top surface even smoother so that there is good adhesion with clear glass plates capping it on one side. These will be used for microfluidic applications.

Scrape through the menu of my university's dining hall and search for any food, and it outputs the dates that it will be served on

Done as part of a CAD-an-antique project
