Develop and lead worksh0ps on making and design skills, such as Solidworks, designing for manufacturing, and laser cutting.Mentor students on personal projects, class projects, and the design world through open shop hours and contests.Maintain a neat workspace, keep machines in good working order, and train new members to use tools and machines

Followed SOPs to run the bacterial fermentation process while maintaining proper documentation and clear communication with team members.Followed good distribution practices and perform aseptic technique to ensure maximized and pure final product.Initiated projects to improve the safety and efficiency of the fermentation suite.

Crafted mood boards and authored sketches to portray form and design directionInterfaced with both internal and external teams to integrate our research and designsCoordinated and executed welcoming and functional installations in the workspace, such as posterboard hangers, acoustic panels, decor, and mood lights

Taught technical drawing and Solidworks to facilitate in 3D printing objects of the students’ choiceLed work sessions for students to get help with their homework (physics, heat transfer, etc.)Supported students with research presentations, experiments, and the final Rube Goldberg challengeAdvised students on how to build interactive contraptions and supervised the safe use of power toolsSource of residential support in the dormitory

Project description:Work with French railway company SNCF to develop a transforming queue divider for train stations that can be folded, rolled, or stacked for easy storage. Workers must also be able to deploy the wall quickly, and it should be aesthetically pleasing.Responsibilities:Draw inspiration from origami designs and existing objects.Use Rhinoceros to design and model protypes, taking into account material, scale, and ease of use.Fabricate the prototypes using laser-cut wood or paper, 3D printed parts, fabric, and other materials.Document prototypes for presentation by taking clean photos and videos.Project description: Work with SNCF to develop an inflatable spoiler to decrease drag forces on their trians. The spoiler must inflate to span the gap between trains when the train is moving, and deflate out of the way when the train is stopped.Roles:Use Rhinoceros to design and model different spoiler geometries.Make the prototypes by drawing the designed pattern onto paper, tracing and cutting the pattern from heat-sealable fabric, and using heat sealers to make the spoiler airtight.Document prototypes for presentation by taking clean photos and videos.
