* Modeled and conducted research on electromagnetic systems focused on biomedical applications to compare a large space of design parameters that affect system performance and feasibility. * Compiled an assembly manual for an electromagnetic steering system, the Nanomag, which is used to navigate micro- and nanoscale magnetic bodies with the aid of an inverted microscope.

* Developed and tested a prototype for a system called the Ophthomag intended to treat retinal diseases via drug delivery or mechanical operations. * Designed and constructed an experimental setup for mounting a microscope imaging device with multiple degrees-of-freedom that was used to visualize microrobotic manipulation.

* Formed robotics curriculum for grade schools (ages: 6-13) that helped the students gain insight into science and technology at a young age. * Oversaw other STOMP fellows to ensure the structure of our program fostered effective learning.

Performed functional analysis studies on wire bonders with a scanning electron microscope and drew conclusions from my results to improve the wire bonding process, especially by eliminating sources of capillary tip contamination.

* Designed and organized manufacturing of parts for guidance navigation assemblies. * Created programs with LabVIEW to control the instruments in an optics lab.
