Completed Projects
Bridge Project
I was given the freedom to write a 70 page anthology about the subject of my choice and to create a product to go with my topic. I chose how the development of technology has both benefited and destroyed society and created 4 different bridges representing the evolution of human technology; a tree bridge, a rope bridge, a da Vinci revolving bridge, and my own personal design of a bridge with sensors. Below are the models of the da Vinci bridge and a video of my own bridge model.
Ethics in Engineering
I researched the ways ethics play a role in engineering and looked at different case studies of structural disasters and other engineering mishaps. I dug into how ethics impacted these horrific engineering failures. Below is my presentation on the Hyatt Regency Hotel collapse of 1981.
Capstone Research Project- Chimney Smoke Filter
​
​
The image on the right is a photo of the final prototype for our Capstone Research Project. This prototype is a makeshift wood burning chimney, with custom designed filter sheets and an exhaust fan. The filter sheets serve to extract all the negative pollutants in wood smoke that may harm the environment or exacerbate people's respiratory conditions. The exhaust fan serves to ensure that the smoke travels completely through the chimney, resulting in absolutely no backdraft.

Our senior design team at the University of Denver developed the H.A.P.P.I. (Human Augmented Perception Processing Interface) Hat, a user-friendly EEG headgear system. Sponsored by Daqscribe, a radio technician company, the project focused on creating a wearable EEG device that is both comfortable and adaptable to a wide variety of users. The system is capable of storing 24 hours of continuous brainwave data and was designed to be worn for extended periods of data collection, up to 6 hours at a time without discomfort.
​Unlike traditional EEG setups that require clinical environments and long preparation times, our system utilizes dry electrodes and a modular track design to simplify setup to just 5 minutes. With adjustable mounts aligned to the 10–20 standard, it is compatible with all head and hair types. This innovation brings quality brain wave data collection into home and remote settings, opening doors for accessible neurological monitoring and future advances in brain research.
