Auralert
A behind-the-ear EEG wearable that streams to a ML classifier to forecast seizures. I owned the processing hardware, enclosure, and integration.
Implantable Electrode Fabrication
Sealing and shaping flexible sEEG electrodes: heat-press encapsulation of LCP, an alignment jig, and a gravity-tensioned helical coiling fixture.
Bluetooth-Enabled Pacemaker
Sensing, pacing firmware, and a stimulation stage on one board, validated block by block against physiological targets and on real cardiac tissue.
Pediatric Crash-Test Neck
A redesigned neck for the Hybrid III 6-year-old crash dummy, built around mechanisms that change its response over the course of a crash, and simulated across six loading cases.
Beyond engineering
Duke Innovation & Entrepreneurship
Coursework, a startup, and two internships seen through the I&E certificate.
