Work
Undergraduate Researcher @ Free Appropriate Sustainable Technology Lab
Nov 2022 - Present
- Currently designing a website to interface with an open-source microgrid optimization tool for solar energy.
- Designed a wireless protocol and web user interface aptly named Butter for an open-source data acquisition and automation device called BREAD.
- Received a USRI Award for the Summer of 2023. Designed an open-source packing algorithm to tile as many building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) as possible on any arbitrarily shaped object or building. This involved the use of complex packing algorithms, computational geometry, Python, and Blender. Culminated in a first author peer-reviewed paper publication in the Designs Journal.
- Researched and developed a cheaper Recyclebot extruder that converts plastic pellets into 3D printer filament under the supervision of Dr. Joshua Pearce.
