Exoskeleton Design: Lower Limb Development & Spine Biomechanical Research

2025–2026

Researched human movement, gait, and joint behaviour alongside existing exoskeleton designs to identify design requirements for lower-limb and spine assistive devices.
Studied spinal loading and posture mechanics, with early-stage concept exploration for a spine assistive device.
Developed and evaluated design concepts for a lower-limb exoskeleton, selecting a direction based on biomechanical fit.
Validated the chosen design through dynamic modelling and structural simulation (OpenSim, ANSYS Workbench), producing a preliminary CAD model.

Self-Initiated Ergonomic Accessory Design

2025–2026

Designed a height and tilt adjustable phone stand tailored to specific ergonomic requirements.
Refined through multiple digital and physical iterations, with the final design validated through daily use.
Designed a foldable, height-adjustable laptop stand around ergonomic and thermal constraints, pending physical validation.

Refractory Bricks from Mining Waste

2025

Developed sustainable refractory brick compositions using mining waste for high-temperature engineering applications.
Designed and fabricated a custom thermal testing setup to evaluate heat resistance and material performance.
Worked on material selection, testing methodology, and practical feasibility for industrial use cases.

SAG Web Application Design

2023–2024

Led UI/UX design for a student activity web platform, applying user research and product-thinking to translate user needs into intuitive workflows and clean information architecture.
Developed design language, interface consistency standards, and user-flow logic across platform modules.
