We have designed a breathalyzer device for rapid capture and detection of > 6 unique viruses. Users unwrap a single-use cartridge and insert into the electronic device. Users then blow into the device into a multilayer hydrogel, which hydrates to form a fluid phase and enables viral suspension simultaneously. The captured condensate is pulled down to a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) surface, which selectively and efficiently binds to viruses of interest. This binding creates electrical impedance which encodes captured viral concentration, which is reported to the user via an OLED readout of respective presence of each of the six viruses. The device has built-in control to ensure sufficient breath volume and is completely non-invasive and reagent-free. This system has utility in a medical triage setting such as urgent care/ER facilities as well as nursing homes and chemotherapy centers, where rapid, cheap testing is necessary.

Design, build, and test a grinder that will be part of an uncrewed asteroid mining space craft. Grinder will crush asteroid regolith into fine powder for refining.

This project explores how various collodiol materials can be manipulated in AC electric fields for applications in aerospace, defense, and soft robotics. Materials investigated include SU-8, Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) Lithium Aluminum Titanium Phosphate (LATP), and Sodium Super Ionic Conductor (NASICON). These materials were examined for their ability to respond to electric fields, with particular focus on the interactions between particles and the field, such as the dipole-field potential.

Crema is an app for coffee lovers to share more detailed and dedicated reviews of their favorite coffee drinks and cafés. It works in a similar way to Beli, a social media community app that offers users the ability to rank, journal, and share reviews of restaurants. Crema directly focuses on the untapped market of coffee lovers and all things coffee and delivers more than just an ambiguous rating you would find on Google or Yelp.
