Selected works

Devices I have helped take from an early idea to a working, testable design.

I / ADVANCED CAPSTONE · JAN–MAY 26I

Lightning McHeal

Developing a non-thermal cold plasma device for chronic wounds using an air-fed dielectric barrier discharge source. I focus on mechanical design, rapid prototyping, and clinician interviews as the team advances early hardware toward a scalable, testable system.

Rapid prototypingMechanical designCustomer discovery
II / MAYO CLINIC CAPSTONE · JUN–DEC 25II

Puncture Perfect

Led the mechanical design and iterative prototyping of an ultrasound attachment system developed with Mayo Clinic to support lumbar puncture procedures. The work included design for assembly, clinician feedback, and freedom-to-operate research across more than 15 devices.

III / INVENTURE PRIZE · DEC 25–FEB 26III

InterVene

Developed an IV-tubing accessory that uses a pressure sensor and micro-actuator to detect peripheral-IV extravasation through pressure-waveform analysis. I designed and iterated the mechanical housing and tubing interface around manufacturability, assembly, sterilization, materials, and safety.

IV / BMED 2310 · JAN–MAY 25IV

Self-Administered NMES

Developed a wearable neuromuscular electrical stimulation device for lower-limb rehabilitation using skin-contact electrodes and body-mounted stimulation hardware. Evaluated electrode placement, skin-contact reliability, current density, waveform behavior, and safe bioelectrical interaction with muscle tissue.

Recommended Tools

Tools behind the projects above, plus recommendations for people starting out in engineering.

01 / 3D PRINTING

Bambu Lab A1 Combo with AMS lite

An affordable, convenient option for personal projects after graduation, when access to Georgia Tech’s makerspaces ends. The AMS makes printing easier and allows jobs to run without staying in the room. This is Leo’s likely choice for a personal printer.

02 / CAD SOFTWARE

Fusion 360

Leo’s preferred CAD software, used for almost all of his personal projects. Its interface feels more intuitive to him than SolidWorks. It isn’t used as widely in industry, so learning SolidWorks can still be valuable.

03 / 2D CAD

AutoCAD

Used for precise 2D drawings, floor plans, and laser-cut layouts, including the Tiny Home project.
