• Leading full cycles of product development of various force/torque sensors, actuation modules, grasping solutions, and robotic manipulators from technology exploration all the way to mass production.

• Co-leading the full cycle of product certification for ISO-10218, ISO-13849, and ISO-15066.

• Leading the technology exploration and product design of various force sensors.

• Co-leading the full cycle of product certification for ISO-10218, ISO-13849, and ISO-15066.

• Exploration, design, prototyping and testing of novel force sensors.

• 1 of 10 finalists of 90 entries in the Apple new idea and technology iContest; Sole finalist presenting a hardware innovation.

• Conducted failure analysis for a field issue on a shipping project and presented root cause and corrective action, successfully eliminating the issue.

• Created hardware prototypes to demonstrate future technology applications utilizing custom built and designed fixtures, assemblies, and data collection systems.

• Developed test setups and conducted material strength tests to characterize and down select materials for a specific application in future iPad design.

• Generated 2D and 3D CAD drawings for FPC and machined/MIM parts.

• Designed and built large scale robotic grippers to grapple and recycle up to 400 kg space debris in free floating environments by attaching to flat and curved surfaces (usually solar panels and rocket bodies); Tested the gripper in the air-bearing floor at NASA JPL as well as on a zero-g airplane for a 3D floating environment for 80 grasping cycles at the NASA Johnson Space Center.

• Designed and modeled insect-inspired micro-spine grippers for UAVs to land and perch on outdoor, vertical and inverted rough surfaces such as concrete walls and ceilings. Manufacturing of such grippers involves CNC and plastic casting, and the model consists of probabilistic distributions and a Markov Decision Process.
