Mandible Shape Adaptations in Stag beetles Inferred from 3D Geometric Morphometrics and Finite Element Analysis
Prepared a project to Micro CT scan and create 3D models of a variety of Stag beetle species Mandible and morphometric and finite element analysis of them.
Proposed a potential relationship between the Principal Components and biting and grabbing efficiency.
Proposed a potential grid-based scale based on Morphometrics, FEA, and battle behavior to identify new species and morph and discern their battle style without viable fighting data.
DRAGONE- Dragonfly inspired Flapping Wing Drone Project
To build a flapping wing drone that uses principles inspired by dragonflies and other insects to create enough lift and thrust to fly independently.
Capable of manoeuvring itself in flight.
powered by electricity on the later phases
Modelling of Animal claw based on Geometric Parameters of Therizinosaurus cheloniformes
Helped develop a novel approach to Model and Generate claws with different mechanical qualities based on the largest terrestrial Dinosaur Ungual.
Focused on scratch digging, hook & pull and pierce.
Helps compare extinct and extant species, identify potential uses for the claw and resolve palaeobiological debates regarding behavior based on biomechanical modeling.
Rapid, inexpensive 3D modeling of complex mandibles
Presented a three-dimensional (3D) digitization technique for fast, cheap, and high-quality 3D modelling of stag beetle mandibles.
Learned proficient use of modelling and analysis software and was able to learn about the various properties of conventional materials and composites.
Cuticle wound healing in Invertebrates (Schistocerca gregariais)
Attempted to find how the cuticle regenerates and the sclerotization of the healed wound.
An effective system exists to repair the locust leg in a targeted manner. Regenerated cuticle shows higher sclerotization than their non-regenerated counterpart.
