Please view some of my projects ⚒️ :D


XR surgical training design concept


Worked with the Herston Biofabrication Institute to design a concept device that could implement extended reality technologies into surgical education and training.

Flume Accessory
Storage Rack Upgrades


Here are some images of a flume accessory storage rack that I upgraded at QUT to increase storage capacity, organisation and steering.

CAD Portfolio


I thought these random CAD drawings looked cool enough to put here, I mostly use Solidworks and Inventor, but have been forced to use fusion360 against my will in the past 😭.

Bluetooth Speaker DFM Analysis and CAD Remodelling


For this project, I dismantled a speaker to analyse its components and how they were manufactured. The speaker was then modelled in CAD and rendered some product shots.

3D Dynamic Cell Carrier - Final Year Project


Examples of some of my CFD simulations for my final year project that investigated how shear wall stresses affected cell seeding on 3D dynamic cell carriers for cell culture.A better explanation of the setup can be found in the paper "Current Advances in 3D Dynamic Cell Culture Systems" This project was done alongside Dr. Weidong Gao's research I recommend having a read if you're interested in cell culture 📖🥸.
