Sigmund- A Psychology Chat Bot
Meet Sigmund, a chat bot created to chat with a user or patient in order to collect data on their mood or mental state. While Sigmund cannot treat a patient or help them with their problems, it collects data in the form of strings that the user inputs in their answers. This allows for a …
Image Color Calculator
With this program, the user must provide an image and choose two pixels on the image to average the color of. This can also easily be expanded to more than 2 pixels in order to fully capture a more representative color of the whole image. Some applications such as Spotify use this technology to make …
Linguistics MLU Calculator
In Linguistics, MLU (Mean Length of Utterance) is a measure used to represent linguistic proficiency. It is often used to track language development in children to ensure that they are on the right track to communicating verbally. In order to calculate MLU, you must take a spoken sample and count how many morphemes and utterances …
Standing Decorations
I designed these two objects as desktop decorations, one being a Rutgers logo and the other a Wug- a reference to a famous linguistics experiment. Both are multicolored prints, consisting of a colorful inner piece with a black outline that allows it to stand up. I made these by designing the outer support piece/shape first, …
Potted Cactus

Specifically, the cactus as a ‘flat’ and simple style while the pot holding it up is ‘3D’ and stands on its own. While the cactus does fit right into the pot, I glued them together …

It features two seperate components- the main piece consisting of the block with the empty slots in it, and the 36 small colorful squares that snap right into the slots without glue. When printing, I used red, green, blue, and yellow …
Homemade Picture Frame
I designed this frame in two pieces- the back base with supports, and the front frame plate. All you have to do is glue the two pieces together, then you can slide the desired photo in through a slot at the top of the frame. I used a metallic grey PLA for the frame, black …
Bendy Caterpillar
I created this caterpillar to test out joints that allow for prints to bend- these can be seen in between the segments. The caterpillar can curl up and straighten out and does not require any supports to print.
