For his senior capstone project, mechanical engineering concentrator Finn Seyffer is designing morphing aerospace composites for STOL aircraft, using wing gaps to control airflow and enable slower, shorter takeoffs & landings for future urban air mobility. https://t.co/oGkQIx6Yg2

[Harvard SEAS @hseas]

For his senior capstone project, electrical engineering concentrator Adolfo Balderas built a real-time voice encoder on an FPGA to explore how pitch- and formant-shifting can protect biometric voice data while keeping speech intelligible. https://t.co/P579oTPdPI

[Harvard SEAS @hseas]

For her senior capstone project, bioengineering concentrator Kiyana Gallagher engineering an injectable hydrogel to deliver circular RNA to damaged heart tissue, aiming for localized, sustained cardiac regeneration after heart attack. https://t.co/lTNbjLSAqQ

[Harvard SEAS @hseas]

Over 90,000 people are waiting for a kidney transplant, but only 2% of willing donors are approved. Computer science alum Daniela Shuman co-leads Project Donor at UChicago, using technology to help turn more potential donors into life-saving donations. https://t.co/Jqqq9H3Ljx

[Harvard SEAS @hseas]

Mechanical engineering senior Jack Anderson is advancing the drivetrain of Harvard’s Formula-style racecar for his senior capstone project. From engine brackets to differential mounting, his goal is clear: get the car race-ready by next year. https://t.co/t6xNTNIBWG

[Harvard SEAS @hseas]

For her senior capstone project, bioengineering concentrator Omolivie Eboreime is designing self-assembling protein nanoparticles to deliver gene editors directly to HSPCs, aiming to make treatment for hemoglobinopathies more accessible worldwide. https://t.co/cQ3WxBgkrO

[Harvard SEAS @hseas]

For his senior capstone project, Konstantinos Maliaris built a compact, low-cost point-of-care system to monitor mitochondrial physiology in real time, aiming to speed diagnosis and research of 300+ often misdiagnosed mitochondrial diseases. https://t.co/0ihdpbe1xK

[Harvard SEAS @hseas]

For his senior capstone project, mechanical engineering concentrator Michael Kuhl designed an orbital locker payload that assembles and deploys cube satellites in space, testing whether the mechanism can withstand rocket launch conditions. https://t.co/oNdqLg1GN5

[Harvard SEAS @hseas]

Electrical engineering senior Ellen Caraballo developed an adaptable universal microgrid controller for her capstone project to provide reliable, affordable backup power in outage‑prone regions like Puerto Rico through shared neighborhood generation. https://t.co/gzJ6WVQoBL
