What people say about me

Writing and Projects

PUBLICATIONS1) Why you should want to use sauerkraut to heat your roomWhether we, as human beings, choose to engage with the hubbub is entirely up to us. Whether we choose to ferment cabbage to make sauerkraut is also our choice to make.Instead of zooming out and taking in a macroscale jammed with the clash of ignorant armies at night, zoom in very close. You’ll see the exquisite details that fill us all with child-like wonder and the crazy applications that are wild enough that they might just work. Zoom in even closer and revel in the delights of exploration, and walk the halls of science like an ever-growing museum. Even the most insignificant of details will call out, telling you that “I am large, I contain multitudes.” Listen to them, those cabbages in the supermarket, those tiny stars in the sky.

2) Haply 2diy: an accessible haptic platform suitable for remote learning, paper presented at ICMI 2021This work introduces the Haply 2diy, a low-cost, grounded force feedback haptic device. This device is designed to provide hands-on laboratory experience for multimodal design by including the typically elusive sense of touch. The Haply 2diy is a two-degree-of-freedom kinesthetic haptic device that allows the user to feel forces when moving in the workspace.

3) On the Logarithmic Decrement, the Kelvin-Voigt Model, and Breast PainOur story begins, as most textbook-style stories do, considering a mass m on the ground. This mass is nothing special, and were it not the protagonist of this story, this mass would probably stay stationary on the ground, left to waste away amidst the crippling loneliness of inertia...From a basic harmonic oscillator to the millions of nodes on a finite element breast, mechanics pervades every aspect of physical simulation and modelling. Principles of mechanics can be seen at work in the construction of our bodies,
heard in the thrumming of jet engines, and felt in the cool of our air-conditioned houses. Though it doesn’t always make sense at first, mechanics can shed valuable insight on problems that seem insurmountable.
