Bio

I'm a Senior in Biomedical Engineering who is passionate about product development, finite element analysis, and Biomechanics. The MakerSpace has been a great place for myself, and I encourage anyone reading this to come by. Working in a space open to all students produces ideas that would be impossible in just major specific group, and this open environment has allowed me to learn many new, interesting skills. My personal focus is translating MRI / CT files into patient specific mesh files to be used for 3D printing, but also for finite element study. I also look for new methods and tricks that can be used to create a broader range of design with greater complexity from the laser cutters, 3D printer, and PCNC mill.
