Research and design of a right hind leg active prosthetic for a cat and right hind leg passive C-shaped prosthetic for a goat. A C-shaped carbon fiber prosthetic for a goat has been constructed. Mathematical analyses and FEA have been conducted. The leg for the cat is underway. I, along with my team, hope to use the cat prosthesis as a stepping stone to develop lighter, simpler prosthesis for humans, specifically and possibly for children and babies. Overall responsibilities include: research, mechanical design and optimization, 3D modeling, mechanical analyses, development of the prototype, testing the prototype, and writing a journal paper.

I am currently in the process of building my own app and game development company for various platforms. Currently in the development stage, I have yet to publish my work and undergo new long-term projects in game development for mobile devices. In the future, I am looking to expand beyond mobile devices to other platforms including consoles and PC's. Not just limited to games, I am also looking forward to develop utility apps that can be useful for the public, and in the long run incorporate my biotech knowledge for apps for the physically disabled.
