Currently researching the fundamentals of topology optimization

- Supervised 18 engineering students in the hands-on manufacturing of diverse machinery, with an emphasis on understanding manufacturing practices, safety measures, and the inspection of part quality and tolerances- Responsible for the setup and maintenance of machine shop equipment, including thorough inspection and organization of tools- Guided students through the process of designing parts, creating drawings adhering to ASME standards using GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing)

- Contributed to the hands-on manufacturing of carbon fiber composite components for structural decks, optimizing strength-to-weight ratios- Compared various wet lay-up processes to determine a time-efficient fiber-to-matrix ratio of 55:45 that maximizes tensile strength and flexibility

- Led a team of six engineers in the design and production of a bi-propellant rocket ignition system, focusing on enhancing reliability and ensuring consistent integration within a large-scale rocket engine. - Developed and fabricated fluid system architecture, alongside drafting safety/testing documentations ensuring engineering and CAL POLY standards.

- Acquired in-depth knowledge in operating 4 specialized automation systems vital to production, with a focus on safety and efficiency- Performed daily tests on the automated system to ensure optimal performance, while repairing minor issues as they came, maintaining the production line's efficiency at 90%
