Experience

  • Toyota Motor Europe (Full-time · 6 yrs 8 mos)
    • R&D Body Design - Engineer
      Jul 2021 - Present · 5 yrs

      As a body design engineer I am responsible for: • Design of shell parts to be ready for mass production • Engineer parts simultaneously with supplier • Confirm the build quality on prototype vehicle

    • R&D Body Design - Graduate Engineer
      Nov 2019 - Jun 2021 · 1 yr 8 mos

      During the Graduate Program I was responsible for: • Creation of the design of plastic parts for a new vehicle • 3D modelling and drawings of shell parts • Testing newly adopted design solutions

  • Research Scholar at University of Toronto
    Feb 2019 - Jul 2019 · 6 mos

    I developed my master's thesis at the University of Toronto. I conducted a research on the design and analysis of a novel shock absorber for crash attenuation using magneto-rheological fluid. • Developed a new active MR shock absorber for crash attenuation; • Conducted FE analysis using ANSYS platform to determine the magnetic circuit requirements; • Conducted FE analysis using LS-DYNA platform to determine the MRSA’s energy absorption capabilities in different conditions; • Designed and tested a functional prototype to validate the mathematical model for the MR fluid flow, and therefore the selected design.
