Maintaining machinery, teaching younger members how to properly use machines, such as: mill, lathe, bandsaws, grinders, CNCs. Making sure there is always material for manufacturing when it needs to be manufactured. Establishing schedules and making sure that deadlines are upheld to make sure the car progresses as intended.

Using my knowledge from the aerodynamics team, along with members from each system and their knowledge, a vehicle dynamics team formed, to understand the vehicle’s balance, distribution, forces…etc. This is to better understand how and why our car performs as it does.

Learning Computational Fluid Dynamics to be able to understand the effects of aerodynamic components on the car and explain it to a judge at competition. Manufacturing composite materials and designing and building molds with a CNC machine. Run Simulations on designed parts.

Working with a team of 60 Villanova engineering and business students to build a car that will be raced each year at the Michigan Formula SAE competition in May. Worked with the data acquisition team to streamline the process of delivering data.

Maintaining the makerspace and keeping it organized. Assisting with shop projects for students and utilizing CAM for complex parts.

Worked in the Logistics Department to help with DRP of railcars to build a better understanding of the cars being utilized and where improvements can be implemented. Did research into work with a different company to find ways to minimize costs. Created Excel formulas to read data and transform it so that it could easily be implemented in Power BI.
