There's nothing better than working on projects that benefits the preservation of humanity, and at ChargePoint, I got to help shape the future of mobility, aiding our transition to EV's!I architected and designed the new transformer assembly for the DC power module to reduce cost, improve assembly and augment its thermal performance. With the new design, I was able to cut off many steps in the assembly (e.g vacuum potting) by proposing a more direct cooling solution to shorten the transformer to heat sink thermal path. I also made the system cheaper by designing a sheet metal enclosure and clamping features to keep assembly compact.I conducted IPX5 and NEMA tests and presented results to verify Power Block water ingress protection, and suggest solutions with minimal ID impact.I designed and built high-current ~500A test fixtures for new liquid cooled cable prototype validation; I also interfaced with vendors in China to approve DFM for the parts. During my design, I was able to develop a calculator for copper busbar thermal design and sizing, incorporating all necessary variables, which was validated by my experiments. The calculator is now circulated company-wide.I validated the liquid cooling manifold concept design for a future 500kW system using ANSYS Icepak to ensure uniform coolant distribution across power modules and quantitatively compare the performance of the various manifold concepts. My work helped pave the pathway for design choice.I helped architect and design a new concept for a future 3-phase AC product’s locking holster mechanism to mitigate issues with the system jamming and improve energy efficiency. I owned and drove this project to completion and assembly of the test prototype. I also developed a template for the Design of Experiments (DOE).I independently designed jigs to mitigate errors in the power module production site. I led technical discussions for possible solution iterations to arrive at a working prototype.

Utilized ANSYS FLUENT to numerically study mixed convection in a finite vertical duct, to investigate the effect of buoyancy parameter and opposed convection on flow reversal phenomenon within the duct.This study was to fulfill the larger scope for better ways to possibly design Solar Heat Collectors.

I led the team (Team Realize!) sponsored by Sandia to design and fabricate a Mechanical Switch that actuates under vacuum for Sandia's exploratory sounding rockets. The device also had to sense a successful launch before the electrical channel was energized, which led to the development of a two-part solution that incorporated a fully mechanically actuated switch and an electronic system.I led technical discussions with research engineers from Sandia to ensure proper understanding of design and functionality requirements including: form factor, operating range, weight limitations, and device integration.I defined our solution and developed the system level architecture, including electrical and mechanical systems design and how they interacted. I fully designed the mechanical vacuum switch, which used air as the working fluid and a compression spring to control actuation.I created part drawings and supervised fabrication processes in the machine shop to ensure parts were made to specifications.I conducted tests on final prototype and calibrated the vacuum switch to function in the relevant operating range.I was a part of the final design presentation and prototype demo to faculty and sponsors at Sandia National Laboratories.

I tutor majorly all levels of math up to differential equations and sometimes physics. My mission is not solely to help students pass a class, but to incite the curiosity needed to fall in love with the subject. I believe in life long learning, and I want students I Tutor to remain curious enough to keep pushing their knowledge boundaries. By doing this, I am improving lives as they are improving mine.

Research assistant at the Center for Energy Systems and Controls where we worked on smart micro-grid test beds and how to design distributed systems for the future of energy management and power control.I also helped peer-review papers and proposals.I owned majority of mechanical components and tasks and helped design parts for experimentation and create drawings and assembly drawings for documentation. I gathered requirements and helped procure devices needed for research in the lab.

Just imagine creating a star on earth! Amazing, right? As an engineer with interests in sustainable Energy Systems, it was a dream for me to be afforded the opportunity to contribute the future of energy.I provided engineering support for projects and operations related to the National Spherical Torus Experiment-Upgrade (NSTX-U). Including preparing procedures, designing mechanical components, performing structural analysis and calculations, and conducting tests. I worked with physicists and completed analysis on various diagnostics (PCHERS, Bolometers, High-speed IR Cameras) which was instrumental to the success of the Conceptual Design Review for the Cryo-pump Divertor (the new cooling system of the NSTX-U).I performed structural analysis on the design of the PF-1C Bus Support for NSTX-U to ensure structural integrity in relation to magnetic perturbations from the superconducting magnets.
