Engineering Accomplishments

DigiDoc

A patient-doctor interaction program using an app and integrated sensor system; won 1st place in MakeSPP Hackathon; currently planning to apply for a patent on the idea. This program exemplifies how technology can improve access for the elderly and disabled, especially during the pandemic.

Life Below Water

An ocean pollution awareness website coded with HTML, CSS, & JS; won in Microsoft Hackathon for contributing to a UN Sustainability Goal. This project demonstrated how technology can raise awareness and knowledge about societal issues.

AI Discrimination Research

Research project analyzing and correcting AI discrimination in speech recognition software using Python; had the opportunity to present my research to scientists and researchers from leading research institutions. This project highlighted the often-overlooked importance of bias in technology.

Street Sweeper Prototype

Created and tested a prototype street sweeper with an integrated electromagnet system to overcome the challenge of cleaning metals off the road; awarded medal for successful Electrical and Mechanical Engineering project in Hudson County STEM showcase. Learned how engineering can make street cleaning more efficient and prevent flat tires.

Electrons from Anaerobic Bacteria

Created a prototype measuring electrons generated from anaerobic bacteria to produce electricity using a fuel cell powered by wastewater; awarded medal for a successful Environmental Management project in Hudson County STEM showcase. This project taught me how engineering can be applied to create sustainable energy.

Solar Energy-Powered Water Pump

Developed a prototype for a solar energy-powered water pump aimed at reducing ocean acidification and global warming effects on density-varied water; presented in Hudson County STEM showcase. Learned how to lower ocean temperature and reduce carbon dioxide interaction with sea life.

Microbial Fuel Cell Electricity

Created a prototype generating electricity using a naturally-made microbial fuel cell with bacteria in various benthic samples; awarded medal in the Environmental Engineering category in Hudson County STEM showcase.
