AI-Augmented CAD Onboarding: A Personalized Approach to Reducing Learning Friction
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2025-09)Autodesk Fusion is a leading cloud‑based CAD platform, yet new users often face steep learning curves due to scattered resources, inconsistent guidance, and a lack of personalization. This thesis addresses these challenges ... -
Design and Implementation of a Low-Cost Bioreactor System for Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803: Integrated Cultivation, Lysis, and Filtration for Sustainable Glucose Harvesting
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2025-09)This thesis describes the design, modeling, and fabrication of a three-part bioreactor and biomass processing system designed to cultivate Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 and extract its intracellular glucose. The resulting ... -
Design of Passive, Air-Based Squeeze Film Damping for Kinematic Couplings
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2025-09)In precision machine design, kinematic couplings are a common choice for aligning and fixturing parts due to their high repeatability. Their centering ability, along with their high stiffness from hertzian contact, enables ...
