I am a part of the inaguaral cohort of the SLS Public Interest Technology Student Fellowship program which seeks to support undergraduates, especially underrepresented students, in learning to work with community partners on public interest technology projects, and through that experience, identify and embark upon public interest technology careers.

As a member of the African Students Association, I attend various events held by the organization throughout the school year. It is a very enjoyable commitment and a great opportunity to connect with other students in a close-knit community. Now as a former board member, I mentor and advise current board members in their new leadership capacity.
As a Programs Chair, I created and plannned thoughtful service, professional and social events to engage the African community at Georgia Tech. During my tenure in this position I have pioneered two new initiatives: the Books for Africa Drive where we collected 500 books from the GT community to donate back to schools over Africa, and InterHouse Sports which was a successful, field day event that provided an opportunity to get physically active and connect with others in the GT community.

Grand Challenges aims to address the broad problem spaces of disaster, energy, environment, food, health, learning, security, shelter and water. These areas were chosen because they have many potential solutions, but only a few that will be effective. Solving these ‘wicked’ problems requires more than just a good grade in multivariable calculus. Grand Challenges also recognizes that service is more than an extracurricular activity. It is a leadership style. By forcing students to analyze global problems with empathy, Grand Challenges develops this skill of servant leadership in its students. The result is a community of change-makers who have an unparalleled opportunity to change the world.

I worked with a team to design and manufacture an autonomous robot to complete several simple tasks in a basketball themed competition. In order to achieve this I contributed by coding an Arduino and using a pneumatic system and solenoids to create a control system algorithm for effective function.
I also utilized workshop tools such as jigsaws, 3D printer, laser cutter, and hand tools to manufacture therobot.
ME 2110 Creative Decisions and Designs
Researched and compiled methods to scrub emissions for use by engineers working on the MCP Connector Project
VIP 4601 SDG 9 Team (Research Project – Client: MCP Connector Project)
Used MATLAB to analyze vibrational data from a wind turbine to evaluate the safety of the machine.
ME 2016 Computer Project
Developed a product to gather quantitative measurements on tremor data from patients with Parkinson’s Disease and Essential Tremor. The goal of this project was to prevent misidiagnosis between the two disorders.

This project won 2nd place in the 2017 East Atlanta Tech Fair and was presented at the 2017 K-12 
Inventure Prize Challenge at Georgia Tech.

The purpose of our project was to create a product that will aid parents in knowing where their children are, keep kids safe, and allow a child to be located faster in the case he or she goes missing. Approximately 2,000 children go missing everyday(in 2016), a big percentage of those being children with disabilities and we want to help these children who may be at risk for injury, death, or actual kidnapping. Our product is discreet, durable, compact, waterproof, comfortable to wear, and trackable on a smartphone unlike the existing products.  Our goal was to create a better engineered product by using comfortable materials, better technology (GPS and SIM), and data from local parents.

Working at a hair salon has been deemed a probable cause of cancer by the IARC and because the public is exposed to these conditions as well it is important to know whether or not this occupation has cancerous side effects. The goal of the project was to discover if two main chemical components of hairspray had mutagenic effect on fruit flies. This was performed by taking a chemical concentrations and exposing the d. melanogaster by putting the chemical in the media. It was discovered that the hairspray components had no mutagenic effects on the fruit flies. All descriptive statistical tests performed on the data collected form this experiment produced a result of zero. The results of experimentation supported the null hypothesis which stated that if hairspray components have no mutagenic effect on drosophila melanogaster, then the fruit flies should display no mutations. As with the descriptive statistics, all inferential statistical tests done resulted in zero. The d. melanogaster were observed to have reduced reproductive rates. This study is significant to the real world because many people work in hair salons and many people, especially women, visit hair salons routinely, thus exposing themselves to the harmful chemicals as well.
