Driven and dedicated prospective Mechanical Engineer interested in automotive and aerospace industries, with research and technical experience. Particularly interested in structural analysis and fluid dynamics, and is experienced with use of Solidworks, Ansys, and Matlab software.
As an intern in Power Electronics - Vehicle Engineering, I leveraged simulation tools and MATLAB to enhance thermal performance and component reliability while presenting technical findings to a large R&D team. My work included designing validation tools, optimizing ferrite cores for cost and efficiency, and verifying over 30 components using CATIA and ANSYS.
As an intern in Flight Test and Evaluation, I facilitated full-scale structural load tests and characterized high-pressure hydraulic systems to verify aircraft component integrity. My work included redesigning data collection wiring, drafting test stand components with Siemens NX, and supporting the validation of test articles.
As the Structural Monocoque Lead, I supervised composite research and developed methods for calculating CFRP properties to support flight loads over 2100 lbs. My work included performing FEA simulations with ANSYS and designing a simplified interface that reduced fastener use by 80%.
As a Structures Engineer, I performed CAD and FEA analysis using SolidWorks and ANSYS to optimize and verify loads on critical rocket components. My work included examining aerodynamic forces up to Mach 1.8 with CFD and applying solid mechanics to validate struts and carbon fiber fins.
As an undergraduate researcher working on Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms, I engineered a circulatory simulator and used ANSYS Fluent to analyze post-surgical flow, identifying key hemodynamics like pressure drop and endoleaks. My work involved validating experimental and computational data to study conditions in stented aortic models.
As an undergraduate researcher working on Pulmonary Hypertension, I developed MATLAB scripts for image analysis, implementing 2D FFT and shape recognition to characterize cell behavior under pulsatile flow. This involved validating spectral analysis methods to extract and quantify data from microscopy images for research.
As an undergraduate researcher under Professor Ken Loh, I developed MATLAB models to solve inverse problems for noncontact damage inspection in carbon nanotube-coated composites. My work involved analyzing voltage boundaries under load and characterizing internal damage to assess composite health.
