Experience
Developed a parametric Simulink model to simulate the kinematics of a 2 degrees-of-freedom parallel robot, determining relevant model parameters for further study using FEA.
Performed FEA(static, frequency, dynamic) for a piezoelectric bimorph actuator using ABAQUS, verifying manufacturer specifications (displacement, resonant frequency, and damping properties).
Designed and 3D printed a mounting rig for design verification of a linear-to-rotary transmission mechanism.
Automated FEA with the ABAQUS-Python scripting interface for parametric optimization, identifying critical design parameters to maximize the rotation of a flexible mechanism.
Reviewed tolerances of customer models for hydraulic valves, manifolds, and other complex parts prior to manufacturing.
Developed CAD models, assemblies, and drawings in SolidWorks for use in manufacturing and testing.
Evaluated strength of PB connectors, designing and building a testing rig with a drill press and 3D printers.
Supported mechanical engineering team by verifying part dimensions & vendor specifications of production samples, 3D printing & cleaning parts, and preparing CAD part files(using Creo).
Prepared and assisted with the design of a prototype control panel enclosure for demonstration.
Projects
Organized and lead workshops for students to acquire practical skills for satellite design(such as CAD, FEA, soldering).
Standardized club operations by generating onboarding documentation for all administrative tasks, organizing club communications and data, and implementing offboarding processes for senior team members.
Built 3D models, assembly drawings, and manufacturing plans of all rocket engine components.
Performed structural analysis using NX NASTRAN, identifying high-stress regions and any necessary design changes.
Designed and machined the rocket bulkhead and combustion chamber to meet project requirements, while assisting in the implementation of nozzle, test stand, and injector subsystems.
Performed structural analysis(vibration, static) of launch environment conditions and thermal analysis of orbital environment conditions for a 3U CubeSat using NX NASTRAN, identifying margins of safety for stresses and critical component temperatures.
Developed CAD models, assemblies, and drawings for use in FEA and manufacturing and prepared training materials for CAD & FEA software for onboarding of new members.
