I’m Simon. I design machinesthat learn with people.
I design machines that learn with people.
At the BLINC Lab, I design robotic hands that learn to predict a user’s grasp in real time. At Alberta Bionix, I lead development of a lower-limb prosthetic device that continually adapts to its user and environment.
I also advance AI literacy and policy at the University of Alberta and Amii, and build community for biomedical engineering students through BMEC and CUBEC.
I’m studying Mechanical Engineering at the University of Alberta and seeking a Winter 2027 robotics internship.
What I Build
Mechanical Design
CNC-machined components for prosthetic hands and legs — redesigning for fewer parts and more stability without giving up manufacturability.
Embedded Systems
Real-time control and sensor fusion running on the hardware itself — grasp prediction, tactile feedback, and closed-loop actuation.
Machine Learning
Models trained on the data these machines generate, from reinforcement learning for prosthetic control to neural nets predicting fluid properties.
Selected Work
Featured projects
Now
Currently leading control-system development for a powered prosthetic leg at Alberta Bionix, designing grasp-prediction hardware at the BLINC Lab, and building AI-literacy programming with Amii— reaching 4,000 students across Edmonton this year.
