I worked full time in the lab of Sang-bae Kim. I designed and built a capstan bowden cable testing rig for analyzing the frequency response of bowden cables in robotic hands. This was important for the lab because it allowed us to understand whether the actuators could be "remoted" and maintain viably low hysteresis. I CNC-machined parts for other lab members' projects.

To create a small-scale solar pumping system to serve the irrigation needs of farmers in East Africa, the lab needed to develop the electronics and solar package. To support that work, I took manual measurements of an impeller pump (imported from China, so it came with no documentation) and characterized its flow vs. power characteristics. I then used regression analysis to fit a pump curve to the data.
