General Audience Presentations

A Star Wars themed animated comic telling the story of how I wrote my first paper about prosthesis control as a grad student at Caltech.


I made and presented this presentation for my final project for the class "Effective Communication Strategies for Engineers and Scientists" at Caltech. The goal was to develop a creative way to share our research with a general audience. (Spring 2019)

A 10 min overview of 4 projects I've worked on related to a prosthetic leg while a grad student.


I made and presented this presentation for a general audience at PLAYfest 2020.
