Electromagnetic Bicycle Damper (EMBR)
Fall 2025 - Spring 2026
Designed the electromagnet and flux path for a semi-active MR-fluid mountain bike damper, sponsored by ARUS MR Tech, that matched commercial forks on weight at a lower price
Projects
Non-Linear State Estimation for the EMBR Damper
Spring 2026EENG 519
Designed and compared Extended and Unscented Kalman Filters in MATLAB and Simulink to estimate unmeasured states of the EMBR damper, including terrain load, with the UKF providing tighter error bounds
Pitch-Tracking Systems in Auto-Tune
Spring 2026EENG 411
Built a real-time auto-tune pipeline in MATLAB and benchmarked FFT against autocorrelation pitch detection, measuring a 2.68x speedup for FFT
Gantry Crane Control System
Fall 2025EENG 417
Designed a 50 Hz discrete-time gantry crane controller in the z-domain, reaching a 48-degree phase margin with zero overshoot and under 1 degree of payload swing
Autonomous Maze-Navigating Robot
Fall 2025EENG 350
Built the Python and OpenCV vision stack for a 4-person autonomous maze robot, delivering the second-fastest run of the semester cohort
Hydraulic Ram Pump
Fall 2022
Built a sub-$100 PVC hydraulic ram pump with pH filtration to mitigate acid mine drainage, within a 6-person team
