• Developed a robotic mechanism for the gripper unit integrated with a 6 DOF industrial robotic arm for the automation of the TV assembly line, aligning and handling non-rigid Plastic Top Covers (PTC)• Engineered a linked system of 8 linear motion guides moving in opposite directions (Pull & Push) simultaneously for grippers in each corner, all controlled by a single stepper motor• Reduced Takt time of the PTC assembly process by 50% by eliminating one station in the assembly line• Conducted mesh-free deformation analysis and redesigned parts by adding ribs, reducing the vertical misalignment of the gripper by61%, from 0.85mm to 0.32mm• Tested alignment units, incorporating vision systems and laser displacement sensors, within the assembly robots

• Headed ASME career fair with 500+ students and 9 companies/national labs, including Sandia National Labs, LLNL, ACCO, and Mattel• Collaborating and communicating externally with companies for organizing career fairs, info-sessions, resume workshops, and tours

• Conducted comprehensive data collection and validation tests to analyze the performance of radar and jammer antennas, with a focus onresearching the radiation pattern and its potential impact on civilian systems.• Researched on the effectiveness of using acoustic attacks on MEMS gyro-sensors and accelerometers in an INS (Inertial Navigation System)to develop a new anti-drone defense system• Implemented design improvements to the anti-drone defense system and adjusted the Radar Cross Section (RCS) bar, resulting in a 20%increase in accuracy and a 15% reduction in false positives• Authored technical reports and presented research findings, contributing to the long-term development of cutting-edge defense technologies

As a CAD design engineer of the team, I am collaborating with Dr. Edmund Tsui and 2 medical students from UCLA school of medicine to design a medical eyedrops device. We aim to utilize 3D-printed bottle recognition assistance for patients with end-stage glaucoma or uveitis approaching blindness. I modeled the 3D design of the product using SolidWorks and Fusion 360 and 3D printed using Cura for the prototype testing. Also testing and documenting the efficacy of each solution through observation and feedback data collection from medical patients• Converted functional requirements of adjustable dose tracking into a solution by incorporating bistable compliant mechanisms in componentdesign and utilizing a print-in-place mechanism.• Employed Design for Manufacturing (DFM) principles to develop multiple rapid prototyping iterations, strategically choosing 3D printingdue to product’s low volume, high detail requirements, and its strength in manufacturing intricate print-in-place structures• Modeling 3D design of device using SolidWorks and Fusion 360 and 3D-printing using Cura• Collected data from 122 patients with result of 48% increase in recall accuracy of medication identification and 82.6% strongly agree/agreewith invention helping schedule of administration.

• Took initiative to plan and execute professional development events that led to the successful participation of over 100 students, facilitatingconnections with resources and opportunities for academic and career success• Managed the requisition process and meticulously tracked orders by submitting requisition forms and receipts for reimbursement,maintaining financial accuracy and documentation

X1 Robotics project (part of ASME at UCLA), is a student-led robotics project focusing on developing unique robotics and R&D of electromagnetic components of an autonomous robot. As a Mechanical Design; Legs/Kinematics Sub Team, I • Built a Boelter dog (quadrupedal robotic dog) as part of year-long collaborative robotics projects of X1 Robotics at ASME,UCLA• Collaborated in the "Kinematics and Leg" sub team of 8 engaged in R&D of electromagnetic components of an autonomous robot• Designed an inverted leg with 8 actuator to deliver linear motion of leg and enhanced motion changes in 3 different postures of the robot• Revised shoulder motor mount to fit motor and accommodate bolt placement on chassis

• Designed and manufactured a 3lb combat robot and made to semi-final in a multi-college tournament with a team of 5 engineers• Iterated combat robot designs while applying tolerance analysis and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to improve endurance against impact• Optimized 3D printing infill patterns and rates, achieving a 30% increase in resilience-to-weight ratio, enhancing structural integrity whileminimizing weight of a finalized ABS chassis

• Built bionics/remotely-controlled robotic hand/finger using 3D designed & printed PLA body and Arduino• Utilized Arduino, 3D design skills, and employed PLA 3D printing techniques, resulting in the successful creation of a functional prototype
