About

Biomimetic Dexterous Hand is my winter 2025 project work-in-progress.

I've always been fascinated by the complexity and dexterity of the human hand, one of our most remarkable tools. In this project, I'm designing a biomimetic hand that replicates human dexterity using cable-driven mechanisms.

As a senior mechanical engineer currently working at J&J, I am mainly responsible for hardware system design on the Monarch Surgical Platform, the first robotic platform for minimally invasive diagnostic and therapeutic procedures in the lungs and kidneys.

I work on many projects related to the robotic arm and instrument manipulator, both on the hardware and software front.

Neocis Inc. is a surgical robotics company focused on dental implant space, and the developer of Yomi, the only FDA cleared dental surgical platform.

I designed and developed joint actuators for a 7-dof robot arm and many peripheral systems around them on the second generation Yomi system.

Harmonic Bionics Inc. is the developer of Harmony SHR, an exoskeleton designed for upper extremity functional therapy.

I developed Harmony SHR platform and pre-market prototypes as a mechanical engineer co-op. I was responsible for a major CAD service region, and designed components using various manufacturing techniques.

Apex Putter: Robotic Mini-Golf was my culminating project for ME495: Embedded Systems in Robotics in Fall 2024.

Through this project, I integrated robot calibration, precise kinematic control, advanced computer vision, and machine learning techniques to empower a Franka Emika Research robot to execute a hole-in-one from any starting ball position.

Grab-A-Pen was the final challenge of the MSR program orientation hackathon.

In this challenge, I calibrated and aligned a Trosen Robotics PincherX100 robot arm using an RGBD camera. The arm was programmed to locate, pick up a pen, and hand it off to other robots.

RGB Point Cloud Classification was my final project for MSAI 349: Machine Learning.

Point clouds are common data format used in robotics. In this project, we implemented a custom PointNet architecture and augmented it with RGB color on the point cloud to classify objects in a custom dataset we generated.

Mobile Manipulation was my final project for ME449: Robot Manipulation.

I applied course concepts like robotic manipulation, forward kinematics, and linear control to create a CoppeliaSim simulation that showed a KUKA youBot moving a box from one location to another with precision and efficiency.

The Laboratory for Intelligent Decision and Autonomous Robots (LIDAR Lab) led by Prof. Ye Zhao at GaTech focuses research on robotic system and interactions.

While in LIDAR, I led a sub-team of 12 undergraduate students and worked on designing and integrating a biomimetic upper body robot, Athena. My team focused on designing and characterizing mechatronics systems that emulate human muscle architecture.

The Exoskeleton and Prosthetic Intelligent Controls (EPIC) Lab at Georgia Tech, led by Professor Aaron Young, is devoted to the design and improvement of powered orthotic and prosthetic control systems.

While in EPIC, I worked on the Assistive Hip Exoskeleton project as an undergraduate RA. I designed and machined the housings and most major components on the series elastic actuators of the hip exo.
