Rochester Hills, MI

• Assembled and tested a new and innovative panoramic sunroof system for a Mercedes SUV.
• Created and administered bond strength test between frame surfaces contaminated with grease, which discovered the interface between the adhesive and bonding surface was in no danger of failure as long as the approved.
• Analyzed measurement reports for frame modules, glass panels, and guiderails for both sunroof mechanisms and sun shade blinds.

Ann Arbor

• Assisted in data collection of the motion of different body parts using Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs) while group of subjects were sent through an obstacle course.
• Organized and labeled the collected data (average angular velocities of each IMU) for the obstacles in the course using MATLAB.
• Analyzed patterns in position, velocity, and acceleration from one obstacle to formulate performance metrics between the subjects including smoothness and strength.
