Research in Superconductors and Vortices
January 2024 - Present
The goal of our research is to find superconducting materials with low critical tempurature.
Our experiments consist of type 2 superconductors since they have a higher critical temperature
than type 1 superconductors. Currently we are experimeting with different varieties of
YBa2Cu3O7.
Primordial Jade Winged Spear
July 2023 - August 2023
Ever since playing Genshin Impact I've always wanted a to-scale weapon of my favorite spear in the game. I used my 3D printing knowledge
electrical engineering experiance, and experimented with spray paints to model, wire, and paint the final product. In total its a staggering
6ft tall, with functioning LED lights.
Maker's Fair and Etsy Shop
November 2023 - December 2023
During college I have less time to commit to large scale 3D-printing projects. But when school work is too stressful I 3D model in my free
time. I became a vendor at our schools Maker's Fair, a one day event, where I sold 3D-printed Genshin Impact keychains and Pokemon. In total
I made over $400! Riding the success of my previous vendor experaince I started and Etsy shop where I made and sold Wireless Lotad Phone Chargers.
Voice Controlled Curtains
June 2020 - July 2020
Built a system that would open and close curtains automatically.
The first iteration was using a phone via Bluetooth to control
the curtains. The second iteration was using Alexa voice control
to open and close the curtains. The current iteration is based on
the time zones using sunset and sunrise to open and close the curtains
automatically
Required Skills
I've loved biking ever since middle school. In 2019 I decided to challenge myself
and complete the Seattle to Portland one day ride! I would go on 60-mile rides with my dad
every other week in preparations, and when the final day came, I rode 209 miles in 14 hours!
