Engineering
Portfolio
A collection of technical projects spanning structural analysis, computational fluid dynamics, mechatronics, and manufacturing systems, from undergraduate research to industry deployments.
Wind Harnessing Technology
A novel concept for automotive energy recovery, replacing the radiator fan with a small-scale high-speed wind turbine. CFD-driven airfoil optimization.
Tensile Test Simulation
CAE limitations explored through FEA modeling of standard tensile specimens. Calibration and validation methodology applied to verify simulated yield response.
Tensile Strength of Composite
Empirical σ-ε curve for a household-material composite (⅛" hardwood dowel + hot-glue matrix). DoE-driven characterization of an unpredictable system.
Topological Optimization
Mapped bionic density-field results onto geometrically constrained airframe structures using NURBS curves and density gradients. With TUHH & Airbus.
UWAFT Exhaust Design
EcoCAR 4 (Chevrolet Blazer) exhaust system. The bottleneck subsystem from the prior competition year. Breadth and depth research into a final manufacturable design.
GM OPEX Improvement
Led a 7-person engineering team to improve first-time quality on GenV V8 engines by 5%, focused on unload and cold-test station bottlenecks.
Linamar Rapid Prototyping
Prototyped Ford & GM transmission parts and designed bore, depth, thread, and Go/NoGo gauges during the facility's low- to high-volume transition.
Underwater ROV
Hydrodynamic ROV chassis modeled after a water droplet, one of nature's most efficient shapes for fluid traversal.
VisionVest
Tactile feedback vest for the visually impaired. Vibration motors deliver passive, direct environmental input. No stick or guide dog required.
Balsawood Bridge
Balsa bridge optimized for weight-to-strength ratio. ANSYS AIM stress analysis calibrated and validated against physical load-to-failure testing.
