SAP ENGAGE
Design Research, Mechanical Engineering
SAP Engage is a side-by-side telepresence system designed for remote collaborative problem solving. As both a kiosk located in a customer's office and a workstation for SAP Support consultants, Engage is an experience which bridges the physical distance between customer and support, enabling each user to communicate in an natural manner and efficiently solve complex problems.
GIGMOLE
Startup Development, Design Research
Gigmole was a startup idea we prototyped during the GSB's 2-quarter Startup Garage program. It is the first event-specific community app that creates trusted, pop-up networks where concert-goers can interact with event-relevant information from their peers and connect over a shared experience. Here, I led the paper and digital prototyping, experiments, and design research.
BATMEN AND ROBYN: THE BOTMOBILE
Mechatronics, Mechanical Engineering
The BotMobile was a project in ME210, Stanford's graduate introduction to mechatronics course. Our mission was to design and build a robot that could score a point. We built fast, failed faster, and had many inopportune incidences along the way. With a complete design change in the final hour, we passed the class in the very last minute. Professor Kenny claimed it was one of the most exciting check-off he's ever seen.
TRANSPARENT STRUCTURES
Engineering Art, Mechanical Engineering
Transparent Structures (CEE32H) was a Stanford course about learning the latest technological advancements in structural glass and how it is applied in the real world. We were also given the opportunity to develop and build a complex structure made entirely of astonishingly thin, chemically treated glass panels called Leoflex and Dragontrail.
NAMIKO: AN IKEBANA VASE
Industrial Design, Mechanical Engineering
Namiko means child of the waves in Japanese. This was my project for ME203, a design and manufacturing class at Stanford. I fell in love with the sand casting process and its ability to create organic forms with inorganic materials. I wanted to showcase the beauty of the material and capabilities of the manufacturing process. Read about my design journey here.
CREATIVE SPACE REDESIGN
Design Research, Creative Spaces
The summer after my graduation, I took on the task of redesigning the ME310 Global Design and Innovation creative loft. With limited time and budget, I created a dynamic environment that hosted both collaborative and private spaces, keeping tools out of the way yet easily accessible.
PRINCIPLE OF ENGINEERING MACHINE (POEM)
Mechanical Engineering, Design Research
In Engineering, prospective students are often daunted by the heavy course load that comes with an engineering curriculum and are deferred by the thought of endless arrays of mundane calculations. With the expansion of University of Pacific’s School of Engineering and Computer Science, a new focus on outreach was realized. POEM won 2nd place in our senior project class.
