Summer 2020
This summer, for my SEC Directed internship, I lead a team of four on a project to increase the efficiency of doctors in an ER and save hospitals money. We did this by creating, Sterile Speak, a speech-driven healthcare solution. The whole idea of Sterile Speak is that it allows voice recognition to allow for remote control of computer interfaces in the operating room. Throughout this process, we learned about product development and included design feasibility, marketing plan, sales strategy, pricing strategy, capital need, and a revenue forecast.

ISEN 289
One of my favorite projects that I have been a part of was my ISEN 289 class, principles of manufacturing. At the beginning of the semester, we were split into different groups of 4 students per group, and our task was to take this forklift prototype and make it more efficient by making it lighter and more cost-efficient. Throughout this whole process, we used Solidworks to bring our idea to life and see it in 3D, we used the 3D printers and machine shop to make it come to life, and lastly, we had to program the forklift to move and follow this pre-decided course.

Aggie Research Team
My junior year of college I was part of a research team that had to do with indicators of workload and stress. Physiological measures, subjective measures and performance can indicate the amount of workload a person is experiencing in a certain environment. When there is too high of a workload, meaning the physical and mental demands exceed the capabilities of the subject, their performance of a task may be affected. We conducted a study using a car simulation, the study aimed to understand how workload ca be reduced by autonomous vehicles and how performance may improve with the help of stimulants from the autonomous vehicles.
