Product Design — Capstone

Portable Fire-Suppression Skid

Redesigned a portable fire-fighting unit for a humanitarian aid organization, cutting build cost by over a third and weight by more than 40%, verified by simulation and a physical prototype.

Diagram of the self-healing polymer network: a chemically crosslinked polyurethane phase for mechanical strength, a reversible Diels-Alder system for self-mending, and shape memory closing cracks on heating

Materials Research

Self-Healing Polymer Coating

Researched a coating for automotive surfaces that repairs its own scratches under mild heat, recovering 85% of its original hardness and outperforming the conventional formulation on crack resistance.

ANSYS finite element analysis of the pinion showing equivalent von Mises stress concentrated at the keyway

Machine Design

Food-Grade Helical Gear Drive

Designed a gearbox for a food-production line — the component that converts motor speed into usable torque — sized to industry standards and built entirely from wash-down-rated, food-safe materials.

Independent Project

DAK Pallets Digital Platform

Independently designed and built a new website for a pallet manufacturer after identifying that the existing site was losing them customers — including hosting, domain setup, and a 24-hour quote-request system.

Rendered CAD model of Panthera, a benchtop CNC milling machine

Machine Design

Panthera Benchtop CNC Mill

Modelled a complete benchtop CNC mill in SolidWorks — frame, linear motion axes, and spindle assembly — as part of machine design coursework.

Data visualization of the simulation results: a solar day-output curve, a wind-speed Weibull distribution, and headline figures for annual PV output, turbine count, capacity factor, and levelized cost

Energy Systems

Renewable Energy System Simulation

Modelled the real-world output of rooftop solar and a wind farm — sizing panel arrays for annual yield and costing wind energy down to $0.11/kWh — as part of the Sustainable Energy minor.

Diagram of the human-centered design brief: five client-derived requirements (discreet, portable, sensory-safe, easy to use, low-cost) above a four-stage design process from empathize to select

Human-Centered Design

Assistive Behavioural-Therapy Aid

Worked with a client to design a discreet assistive-technology concept for behavioural therapy with autistic children — translating real needs into requirements, concepts, and a recommended direction.
