A collection of things I've built, from embedded hardware to lab software.
Fabricated a CuO/ZnO heterojunction solar cell on FTO glass. Process included electrodeposition of copper, thermal oxidation, ZnO sputtering, and aluminum contact deposition. Characterized with AFM, SEM, and a Keithley 2400 solar simulator.
View projectThermal oxidation of silicon at 1000°C with Arrhenius modeling using Deal-Grove theory. Generated growth datasets via NanoHub simulation, extracted activation energies, and compared to experimental results characterized by AFM and SEM.

Animatronic plush mascot built on an Arduino Nano RP2040 Connect. Detects a voice trigger word via the onboard microphone using a Cyberon library, then sends a spoken response through an Emic 2 text-to-speech module. Furby gear train drives the face animation.

Raspberry Pi 5 + 7" touchscreen platform for hot-swappable industrial sensors. Built for predictive maintenance: swap I2C sensors (thermal, ultrasonic) without rewiring. Real-time visualization, I2S audio, 3D-printed enclosure.

Pipeline to convert nanoscale AFM surface scans into STL files and 3D-print physical models of otherwise invisible surface structures. Built as an outreach and visualization tool for the nanotechnology lab.

A device that sits on top of a bin and counts returnable bottles as they're dropped in. Tracks deposit totals so you always know what your stash is worth before a trip to the store.
I occasionally will post projects to youtube. Timelapses and build logs mostly.
