Photography

I began taking pictures my freshman year of college and really loved it. Over the years I really became interested in digital photography and this galley showcases some of my images.

Painting

Painting has been an interest of mine for as long as I can remember. Unfortunately I don't have enough time to devote to it. This site shows a few of my pieces.

Boston Fountain Sculpture

Concept for a fountain sculpture to be placed in the new park area created by the BIG DIG in Boston. I have worked on some preliminary sketches and some quick 3D modeling to showcase the design.

 

3D Cad Graphics

Cad graphics created in a multitude of programs. I started using AutoCAD in the 7th grade I have used nearly every graphics package there is.

The Matrix Effect

The matrix was a cool movie. I tried to replicate the stop motion camera trick using a single camera. How did I do?

MIT Mentoring (2.009)

For the past two years I have mentored at MIT for the senior design class 2.009. Check out the great prducts they produced. (CYCLOS)

*Cobra Needle-less injector

A device to inject drugs through the skin via a high pressure jet stream actuated by Shape Memory Alloy.

*Micro-Needle Array

A miniature array of micro-sized needles which can measure electrical signals from single neurons in a living brain.

*Nanowalker Project

Miniature Robots with a unique locomotion method using piezo actuators. This small robot is capable of sub-micron stepping and could one day be used to measure to manipulate individual atoms.

BCMR.inc: 9-Pin Commutator

A device used by an emerging bioscience company to prevent neural implants from tangling during sleep studies. The device was developed for medical grade applications.

Automatic Buoyancy Control

System which automatically controls a scuba diver's buoyancy. The device can control neutral buoyancy as well as ascending and descending dives. Uses full state feed back to achieve superior performance.

 

Human Powered Hovercraft

Worlds fasted human powered hovercraft. Developed by Team Topflite it uses a dual pontoon design which makes it extremely stable during flight.

Balls Hogg (2.007)

My entry into the Mechanical design competition (2.007) held at MIT every year.

All (*) Projects were done in the Bioinstrumentation Laboratory @ MIT

Wood Working

After I graduated from college I really got into woodworking. I was at the wood shop club they hired me. This page displays some of my work.

Screw and Tap Finder (FLASH)

A flash interactive program that gives the dimensions for different screw sizes as well as head styles. It is really useful if you are an engineer or designer.

Scram Display

Developed as a proposal for Scram Technologies to showcase their new screen technology. This unique briefcase design holds a singe screen.

Quick Load Paintball dispenser

At a party someone said "you know what would be great? A quick way to load paintballs into the gun." So I made one.

PDA Case

A case made of foam padding or material which has a unique display protector. Created to use the least amount of material and can easily be assembled.

Concept Sketches

Sketches that have not made it to full fledged projects yet. Hopefully someday they will. UNDER DEVELOPMENT

Clothing

Some clothes concepts and one skirt that I made. UNDER DEVELOPMENT
