Lead and manage Northwestern's student-organized solar car team of 20+ members Oversees team budgeting, equipment/material purchases, race organization, workspace management, and faculty/student meetings Coordinates funding operations with corporate sponsors and university entities Managed and allocated annual budget in excess of $25,000 Designed and manufactured aluminum brackets to effectively support the bottom aeroshell of vehicle Designed and programmed LCD driver interface to effectively display incoming CAN bus packet data.
Investigated through the field of computational fluid dynamics how soluble inorganic/organic particulates interact with a charged semipermeable membrane within the Reverse Osmosis process. Researched how the physical properties of a membrane affect permeability of solute molecules. Performed multiple simulations in Visuals Molecular Dynamics (VMD) and Poreblazer to gain empirical understanding of molecular interactions. Programmed Tcl script to calculate the local densities across a given membrane and generate a representative model of collected data.
Participated and led Kaizen events to streamline inefficient manufacturing processes through 5S methodology. Between 30 - 50% cost and waste reductions in time, labor, and raw materials. Co-organized New Product Introduction processes to initiate production of 20 product variants; coordinated with international branch and customer to finalize product specifications Oversaw entirety of PCB fabrication process according to schematic specifications. Interfaced with manufacturing suppliers to reduce material costs by 10% for production line.
