Quantum

I wanted a different shape, a shape that evoked thoughts of sports cars and speed boats. I've always loved the look of sharp lines and angles, and that showed up in my design. The dial presents a 3D experience to the viewer, and there are multiple "levels" within the dial that are visible from any angle the watch may be viewed at. I designed the strap attachment to secure directly into the watch, with the ultimate goal of providing the wearer with an integrated and three dimensional experience.

Minimal Sash Lock

This sash lock was designed as part of a larger assembly of custom-designed double and triple hung windows. As the contemporary double hung window increases in energy efficiency, its proportions become thinner, yet deeper; its operation smoother and more precise. The design of this Sash Lock takes advantage of these advances and is based on simplicity in operation (one hand), installation (one screw per component) and manufacture (the process of digital 'printing' in Stainless Steel, a process that is efficient when using a minimum of material).

Heron

The Heron is an adjustable lighting fixture which can adopt several positions just by moving the three hinging elements. Depending the shaped position, this object can lighten wall-, up- or downside. Touching the ledprofile (tube) dimms the light and switches on en off. The Heron is part of a larger collection with different birdshapes en names.

Tensegrity

Tensegrity sensor for disaster sites, which could be dropped from the sky (drone) to collect data for emergency response crews to examine crucial data such as gas leakage, images, and audios from survivors. Due to the risk, this deployable sensor is especially beneficial when it comes to unapproachable sites by humans. Multiple tensegrity modules stored in a basket under the drone with an automated deployment system are deployed on multiple sites nearby to the region of interest once the drone arrives at the location.

Sim One

Tens of thousands of people may perish as a result of tsunamis. Because of the way that tsunamis work, humans lack the tools necessary to detect them directly. The current tsunami warning is based on erroneous and delayed modelling results of seismic data. This system is intended to directly identify tsunamis with high warning accuracy while continuously monitoring the internal dynamics of the ocean. The offshore work vessel anchors the equipment in the open ocean and fastens it with special ropes.

Mechcircuit

MechCircuit leverages the neodymium magnet's natures of magnetism and conductivity to integrate electronics and mechanical structures into prototypes. It enables non-expert users in the mechanical and electronic fields to design and create interactive prototypes achieved without using traditional mechanical parts. Rather than involving complicated operations including wiring and soldering, it applies magnetism and laser-cut slots to connect electronic components. MechCircuit is expected to be used in the product design iteration for a wide audience using the standard laser cutting technology.
