Activities / Applied curiosity

Small prototypes.
Lasting questions.

SDG projects, algorithm training, and badminton leadership are different ways I practice working through difficulty—with other people and through repetition.

People behind the prototypes

Ideas need a team.

Demonstrate a principle.
Then make it useful.

I led projects including a Heron’s Fountain physics demonstration, the Ocean Challenge, a centrifugal-concept microplastic separation system, and an AI Fridge using computer vision.

Leaks, failed trials, and redesign were part of the process. The work helped me move from demonstrating scientific principles toward applying them to environmental problems.

Original early Heron’s Fountain poster. The “perpetual machine / hydroelectricity” wording reflects an early proposal, not a validated result. The working principle is fluid pressure; it is not a perpetual-motion machine or a demonstrated power generator.

Heron’s Fountain

A physics demonstration involving fluid pressure—not a hydroelectric generator. Failed trials and leaks led to rebuilding.

Ocean Challenge

An early environmental engineering project, recognized as a 2024 Ocean Challenge finalist.

Microplastic separation

A prototype using centrifugal concepts to explore separation, with testing and redesign central to the work.

AI Fridge

A computer-vision project connecting recognition with a practical SDG-focused application.

SPROUT Program.

SPROUT program logoSPROUT / Algorithm training

I participated in advanced C++ and algorithm training, with an emphasis on data structures and computational problem solving.

That analytical foundation supports my engineering work—from decomposing software tasks to debugging systems.

A different kind
of repetition.

I have played badminton for 7–8 years and served as club president and captain. I helped organize practice and support the team while continuing to compete in singles.
