Hi! I am currently an Electrical Designer working at a robotics company in Vancouver called Sanctuary AI. Check out some of the work that I have done below:
the world’s best hand
I have been working at Sanctuary AI for a while, and one of the projects that I have had the absolute pleasure of being involved with is what I believe are the world’s best pair of robotic hands. If you haven’t already seen it, the video below is a good demonstration of the hardware capability…
science world: robotics instructor
In Vancouver, Science World is one of the local landmarks that makes up the city scape. It is the big dome in the sky that everyone points at when they ride the Skytrain from Main Street to Stadium Chinatown. It is also the hub of science communication and outreach education in British Columbia. In my…
Fighting Cancer with Algorithms
For my second capstone project at UBC, I had the absolute pleasure of working with Dr. Hal Clark of BC Cancer Agency in order to develop methods for medical image registration to enhance cancer treatment plans. You can find his website here. The main problem that we wanted to address is obtaining useful scans for…
Undergraduate Physics Paper 1
The cool thing about doing an engineering physics degree is working on cool complex projects for one class while also discovering cool new physics in another. I have written a lot of papers throughout my degree and instead of letting them die in my Google Drive, I thought it would be interesting to publish them…
co-op 3 – avigilon: pcb design
For my third co-op I worked at Avigilon – a Motorola Solutions Company. Avigilon is a Vancouver-based security camera company that was bought out by Motorola Solutions in 2018 for a whopping $1.28 billion. I was starting my co-op in early 2020 which is significant for two reasons: So, I accepted the offer in early…
travel sketches
In 2019, I spent eight months in Germany on a co-op position at the University of Wurzburg. I was fortunate enough to travel around Europe and explore new languages and cultures in person. Along the journey I tried to create a sketch or drawing for every new place that I visited, here are my favorites.…
modbox
challenge: Create a container that can safely and quickly transport crucial medical equipment over tough terrain via drone. There are many obstacles to consider such as weather conditions, shocks from drops, and carrying capacity. physical description: There are three main components: A container Dividers A lid There were two that I had in mind when…
co-op 2 – the university of wurzburg: cool circuits
For my second co-op position in 2019, I took up a research position at the University of Wurzburg – one of the oldest universities in Germany. This was to be a series of firsts: my first time going to Europe, my first time living alone, and my first time in a research position. Eight months…
co-op 1 – science world: a programming workshop
For my first co-op position back in 2018, I worked at Science World in Vancouver as a Science Facilitator. As someone interested in education and science communication, this was an incredibly exciting opportunity for me. Overall, the experience lived up to the expectation. Some of the cool things that I was able to do includes:…
