Impact

Programmed a UR20e robotic arm in C# to 3D print curved concrete paths for affordable housing applications. Built multi-layer toolpaths and live speed control over a TCP connection using Grasshopper. Named co-author on a paper currently in preparation for submission to Progress in Additive Manufacturing (Springer).

Manosalvas, C., Banijamali, K., El Moselhy, L., & Kazemian, A. "Construction-Scale 3D Printing with Asphalt-Based Materials: Printability and Process Characterization." Manuscript in preparation.

Visited Dr. Al-Hussein's lab to observe research on modular and robotically fabricated housing construction. The visit continued online after returning to New York, making it about a month in total. Learned AutoCAD and Revit. Dr. Al-Hussein opened every part of the lab's work to explore.

Mapped Scarsdale's flood infrastructure through 12+ sources and interviews with the Village Engineer. Found a New York State Green Resiliency Grant pathway that linked two active municipal projects and proposed green infrastructure improvements: bioswales, permeable pavement, and a bioretention feature. Presented to officials including Mayor Justin Arest and Trustee Tim Foley at Village Hall. The research drew local press coverage.

Prototyped and stress-tested a new shopping aid device from scratch, learned SolidWorks, and built prosthetics for global users. Filmed on-site during Chuck Hull's visit for a documentary about the inventor of 3D printing. Featured in the pressing:on podcast alongside Mat Bowtell. The internship grew out of a collaboration on a Kinetic Hand for a recipient in Pakistan.

Participated in the full prosthetics cycle: intake, 3D scanning, CAD, printing, and fitting. Has raised $3,500 total for prosthetic production through cookie sales and online fundraising (as of October 2026).

Engineered and delivered 20+ custom prosthetic hands and arms across 10+ countries, including Romania, the Philippines, Uganda, Pakistan, Egypt, Palestine, and the United States. Transformed remote measurements into print-ready files, handled fit and follow-up, and designed an original palm variation published on Thingiverse. Also wrote to families directly to take on cases from the unclaimed backlog. Invited to present to e-NABLE's founders and global community.

Began as a class representative and was elected Senior Class President in May 2026. Advocated for students who were less likely to advocate for themselves, shaped senior traditions, and earned the commencement microphone.

Competed in a sport measured one routine at a time. Led as team captain by showing up early, managing nerves, and making consistency something the team could count on rather than just aim for.

When Scarsdale High School could not provide a venue for the annual Iftar dinner, reached out to Edgemont School District and co-organized the first joint two-district Iftar. More than 200 people attended, more than twice what either club had hosted alone. Covered by Scarsdale10583.
