Edward Griffith Email & Phone Number

My name is Ed and I am Engineering student at Monash University. I specialise in Software Engineering, excelling in problem solving, solution design, and data analysis, but my keen interest Mechanical and Robotics Engineering allows me to bring a unique skill set to the table.Fueled by my passion for motorsport, the automotive industry, and space exploration, my goal is to work in a field that pushes the limit on what a human can achieve, to go faster and further, with more precision, than ever before. I employ this vision currently on the Formula Student team Monash Motorsport (MMS), working in the Vehicle Performance department to design, realise, and optimise a Formula style car to compete in Australian and European competitions. Specialising in Vehicle dynamics, it my job to design the concept and high level design choices for the car, analyse how the car is performing through rigorous testing and data analysis, and improve the vehicle to perform at its best through Vehicle Controller code, suspension optimisation, and driver analysis and training.To achieve this, I have developed a comprehensive engineering skill set. I employ a design-first approach to ensure all aspects of complex problems are fully considered, my proficiency in data analysis enables me to identify critical variable sensitivities and accurately describe how a solution is performing. and strongly believe that effective communication will solve many many problems. Fields that I am competent in include Dynamics, dynamic systems and controls, statics, machine design, ROS, motion control, path planning and machine learning. This is in addition to fields that I am foraying into such as CAD, FEA, and Computer Vision.My hands on experience with diverse engineering projects has refined my ability to collaborate in multidisciplinary teams, ensuring innovative solutions are practical and implementable. This is exemplified by my time in MMS. As a vehicle performance engineer, I have designed and coded sections of the Vehicle Controller, the logic of the software functionalities of the car. I have designed suspension components with a rigourous design analysis, feasability reports, and finite element analysis. And I have coded high level transient points simulations to evaluate the performance of the car in dynamic events, and determine the performance sensitivites of different parameters. I am eager to leverage my diverse expertise and passion for cutting-edge technology in a role where I can contribute to groundbreaking advancements and drive the future of engineering forward.
