Passive Thermal Control for an Infrastructure-Free Diagnostic Cassette
Held a DNA amplification reaction at 37–42 °C for ~11 minutes with zero electrical input, using a salt exotherm buffered by a phase-change ring.

Lateral Filter Array Microfluidics for Circulating Tumor Cell Isolation
COMSOL model relating channel geometry and flow rate to capture efficiency, validated against 200+ fabricated devices and clinical samples from UF Health Shands.
Read the project →A Rotational Redesign of a Valve-Based RNA Amplification Device
Rebuilding a paper-based lysis, enrichment, and amplification device so the operator advances it by turning one part.
Read the project →I am a mechanical engineering student at the University of Florida, working between microfluidics and instrumentation. At UF's Interdisciplinary Microsystems Group I fabricate and test devices that isolate circulating tumor cells from blood. Last summer at Imperial College London I built a point-of-care diagnostic cassette that utilized exothermic chemical reactions and polymer rupture barriers to passively amplify DNA. I also lead test vehicles for Florida Rocket Lab.
