• Fully responsible for the design, manufacturing, analysis, testing, and integration of the bracket that mounts our hydraulic braking system to the chassis of our Hyperloop pod. Utilizing SolidWorks for the design and.
• Reduced weight of the bracket by nearly 40% through FEA optimization and implementing lightening holes.
• Headed communication with manufacturers on our needs and created engineering drawings.
• Researched fasteners and utilized bolt torque charts to determine proper sizing and loading of bolts.

Conducting research at the Integrated Fabrication Lab under Professor Corie L. Cobb on additive manufacturing of novel lithium-ion battery architectures. Creating a printhead similar to that of a 3-D printer printhead in a computer-aided design software that is used to fabricate 3-D battery electrodes.

• Integrated digital encoders into a prototype for a cell imaging system. Designed, assembled, and tested the prototype for mechanical and encoder functionality.
• Utilized SolidWorks and SolidWorks PDM for design and worked closely with the in-house machine shop to get parts manufactured.
• Created engineering drawings for production parts and assemblies.
• Designed and 3-D printed molds for rubber prototypes.
• Soldered components to encoder boards during the prototyping process.
• Designed, manufactured, and assembled an interface enclosure which housed a PCB. Functions of the interface include adjustability of the exposure/ illumination of a sensor via encoder wheels, buttons to save sensor.

I provide on-campus peer mentorship to 14 newly selected Opportunity scholars at the University of Washington under the WSOS Scholar Success team. Scholar Leads are enthusiastic role models who help Scholars navigate their new campus, learn about available resources and support their academic journey. Responsibilities also include sharing resources that.

• Revitalized our utility robot to function with pneumatic arms after being damaged during competition the year before. Created original brackets and attachments for the cover of our fully-autonomous turret, considering.
• Manufactured the chassis of our fully-autonomous turret robot with the CNC, bandsaws, and grinders in the Machine Shop on campus (25+ hours of CNC use)
• Designed brackets to assemble the cover of one of our robots, along with clevis pin attachments to secure the cover to the chassis of the robot
• Decided on carbon fiber reinforced Nylon for the clevis pin attachments due to the stresses it would undergo in competition
