In April'18 we sent a satellite with scientific experiments to the International Space Station. I was a leading a group of 4 students, mentored by Adam Kemp.
I were: Student Lead; Primary Payload Designer; Software Designer; System Tester
CubeSat Payload
In January'18 we became champions of this satellite programming competition together with our partner teams. This was a 5 month long effort that ended with our code being sent and tested on the ISS.
I were: Team Founder and Leader. Wrote major contributions to the code.
Champions: MIT Zero Robotics competition
In October'18 I designed and built an Arduino-controlled UV Chamber for the Form2 3D-printer for our MakerSpace at Rice, the OEDK. ThThis device is now used on a daily basis by our students and has helped dozens of projects.

In Fall'18 as part of ENGI-120 course at Rice with a team of freshman we were designing a set of modular, ergonomic, and easy to use gardening tools that could enable wheelchair users to perform gardening duties. Our tool is currently on display at Rice Garden.
Accessible Gardening Tool
Between May'17 and February'18 I founded and lead this student lead organization in which my peers and I built prosthetic limbs for underprivileged children in 3rd world countries for organization “Enabling the Future”. We built a total of 9 arms throughout this project.
PRISMS Prosthetic Arm Factory
In Summer'17 I designed, built, and tested solar sensors for CubeSat installation for private space company Princeton Satellite Systems (PSS).
I were: student assigned to an independent project
2-Axis Solar Sensor
In February'18 using C++ I wrote, debugged, and tested all code both for Ground and Flight CubeSats. Executed tasks included payload synchronization, telemetry acquisition and transmission, system checks watchdog timers.
ATMEGA-328 based Satellite Software
In February'19 I designed and built this art-piece for the Art&Engineering competition associated with 10 years of engineering design at our MakerSpace, the OEDK. With this project I am celebrating 140th anniversary since the birth of a brilliant Russian avant-garde artist, Kazimir Malevich.

In February'18 for our efficient usage of MATLAB programming language at Zero Robotics, our team was recognized at MathWork's Winner Circle page - a list of award winning teams that used MatLab.
MATLAB's Winner Circle
In Fall'16 and Spring'17 I designed and built this Arduino-controlled Robotic Arm prototype for the Science Olympiad competition. The arm was controlled semi-manually and had a robotic claw for manipulating the coins.We took Bronz medal.
Robotic Arm: Science Olympiad
During Fall'18 as a research assistant at Realtime Neural Engineering Laboratory at Rice, I worked on design and optimization of head mounted microscope for in-vivo fluorescent imaging on mice brain. The lab has fully switched to my design as it decreases animal handling time from 14 days down to 1 or 2.
Mice Head-Mounted Microscopes, Form2
In Spring'17 I developed this instance of the nanosecond precision timer that was a part of our CubeSat Payload. With this timer we attempted to measure the time dilation effect - though the data was insufficient to reject null hypothesis. This is an easy-to-use I2C controlled device compatible with Arduino for high precision projects.
E-9 Precision Timer
In March'18 I designed and built this 3-axis seismograph together with my buddy Alex Maiorov for the IYPT competition. This device was made to be portable and easily compatible with Arduino. Usage of piezo sensors allowed for quick data acquisition and up to x1000 magnification of ground oscillations.

Seismograph
In October'17 as part of Industrial Design course at PRISMS I designed, modeled, and printed an exact copy of my own pair of glasses. A feature of these glasses was a modular magnetic attachment mechanism that allowed for flashlight or lens attachments.
