Projects
Here are notes on some of my projects. I am particularly interested in sharing fabrication techniques for non-toxic bioplastics, in order to get more people to not use toxic plastics made from petroleum.

Making Plastic SheetBioplastic sheet can be made in a way that is analogous to baking. It can be done using typical baking temperatures, ovens and implements. (read more). |

Thermoforming Plastic SheetOptically clear bubbles can be made from acrylic sheet by heating it and blowing it through an aperture. I have experimented with a range of different types of ovens and have found that good results can be achieved from all (read more). |

Making Magnetic PowderFor my magnetic sculptures, I use magnetic powder to create the body. For black pigment, magnetite is very effective. For other colors, I have experimented with diffusing iron into pigments, such as zinc oxide (read more). |

Lidar-based Sea Surface MappingDuring my masters in ocean engineering, I worked on a project to develop lidar for sea surface mapping. This is challenging because it breaks the assumptions that are made for terrestrial mapping (read more). |
