Engineering Design Projects
ScarStretch
My senior design project at Rice University was to develop a low-cost, easy-to-use wearable device to automate scar massaging, a process commonly used to aid in scar tissue healing in low and middle income countries. We collaborated with physicians and partners at Hospital Nacional de Niños in San José, Costa Rica.
Team ScarStretch was selected to present at the University of Minnesota Design of Medical Devices Conference, accepted to present at the Houston Global Health Collaborative Conference, and named semifinalists in the Rice360 Institute for Global Health Design Competition.
Colosto-ME
My junior design project was a sanitary, easy-to-use reusable colostomy bag for low-resource settings.
This project received the Best Technology for Low-Resource Settings Award at the Huff-OEDK Engineering Design Showcase in 2023.
Umbi-Trap
My team and I developed a prototype for an umbilical cord clamp for low-resource settings, which was awarded finalist status in the Malawi University of Science and Technology Global Health Hackathon in 2020.
