I’m Paarth, a CMU Mechanical Engineering and Robotics student working across aerospace, robotics, embedded systems, and AI-enabled products.

01Rear isometric view of the segmented wing, control surfaces, tail geometry, and mechanical assembly interfaces.
A 42-inch aircraft developed through low-Reynolds-number airfoil analysis, OpenVSP iteration, and design for additive manufacturing. The final airframe used thin standard-PLA shells and removable mechanical joints instead of glue.
02A physical robotics platform used to test reach, motion, end-effector interfaces, and system integration.
A product conceptualization study that moved from system requirements to physical prototypes and design for manufacturing.
11A printed servo arm for removing prints from a printer bed, developed through torque analysis, kinematic visualization, and task-specific end effectors.
06An assembled ESP32-based handheld device that brings notifications and human approval into a physical interface away from a laptop.
03Inspect the enclosure, temple packaging, and combiner placement in the assembly.
A working heads-up display advanced into V3 wearable CAD, with a folded optical path and electronics arranged along the glasses temple.
Whether the system flies, moves, sits on the body, or lives in software, I start by turning ambiguity into testable constraints.
I’m a sophomore at Carnegie Mellon studying Mechanical Engineering with an additional major in Robotics. I’m most interested in the overlap between mechanical design, intelligent systems, and products people can actually use.
My projects have moved from competition robotics and LiDAR research to a 3D-printed aircraft, wearable optics, robotic EV charging, mobile apps, and autonomous agents. The connective tissue is ownership: understanding why a system should exist, choosing its architecture, and carrying it through build and test.
