Miscellaneous
 NASA Zero Gravity Project |
 Fly testing chamber |
I worked with a research team to find out how house flies behave without gravity. (2011) Check out more here |
 High Altitude Launching System |
 Balloon Launching System |
I worked with a team at Lehigh to build a high altitude balloon launching system for small UAVs. (2010) Read more about the project here. |

 Mounted to robot |
This is a simple motor controller I designed for a robot project. (2011) |
 Remote control land sailer front view |
 Remote control land sailer side view |
This is a small remote control land sailer that I built in a week over the summer of 2010. Earlier that summer, I developed a Matlab velocity prediction program for use on the full scale Lehigh land sailer. For fun, I used the program to ~optimize this scale model for high speeds. The model was incredibly stable even in winds over 30mph–and fast! |
 Trainer land sailer |
 Training… |
This is a small trainer land sailer that I built to help our team get a feel for controlling a wind powered vehicle. Steering is operated by feet and the sail is operated by hand. (2009) |
