      Working on composite (CFRP sandwich panel) structures for team's first full carbon fiber monocoque. Created panel optimizer to search for lightest possible panel that meets requirements in bending stiffness, energy absorption, fiber fraction, and manufacturability. My optimization work will lead to projected savings of >15lb over last year's frame.
