LAHM Track (2022): Multi-object tracking algorithms (computer vision task) often maintain and update a ‘visual appearance history’ encoding for each object being tracked, e.g. the colour of shirt someone is wearing. LAHM track provides a framework to train and deploy reinforcement learning agents optimised at this ‘maintain and update’ process that can beat heuristic and greedy methods.

Blockism (2022): Created a social virtual reality (VR) building game where players work together to build structures and score points before time runs out. The game is built within Unity, using UCL’s Ubiq library for networking utilities. Core challenges included integrating with Oculus APIs and designing the structure building engine.

7 DOF Pick-and-Place (2022): Pick-and-place experiments simulated in ROS and Gazebo on a Franka Emika Panda arm using MoveIt!, OctoMap and PCL to detect coloured cubes and stack by colour whilst avoiding obstacles. Full stack solution covering object segmentation, localisation and grasping of multi-oriented coloured objects in an environment with obstacles.

Hybrid End-effector Concept (2020): As part of my Mechanical Engineering studies I created a hybridised fingered and suction grasper, which used novel system design to make use of fingered and suction grasping synergies. The design received a few accolades including: CATIA Project of The Year Award, IMechE Project Award & UCL MechEng Best Project.

TravelBuddy (2019): A first foray into building software products as part of Expedia Group’s 24hr TravelHack hackathon – winning 1st place. Our product, TravelBuddy, leveraged Expedia’s scale and collaborative filtering to bilaterally connect travellers to provide a ‘local’ connection during a trip, whilst also driving more sign-in’s/sign-up’s for Expedia during the booking process.

Heart Pump Impeller (2019): Heart pumps need precision impellers optimised for high RPM, flow rate and multi-decade longevity. I created a scaled-up prototype impeller optimised to run at 2700RPM across a 0.8 bar pressure difference and achieve a 75 litres/min flow rate as part of my Mechanical Engineering studies.
