Current intern on the Interconnect PD team.

Austin, Texas, Us

• Created test plans, performed testing, and validated designs for the Cybertruck knuckle to eliminate critical mud wade failure modes• Saved $1M/year by eliminating a machining step on the Model Y rear halfshafts. Initiated design change, confirmed mass and torsional stiffness changes with stakeholders, verified layout changes in the suspension model, and collaborated with supplier to implement VAVE• Performed a Root Cause Analysis on the Cybertruck Wheel Speed Sensor to understand an installation failure, requiring non-linear FEA analysis

Hawthorne, California, Us

• Redesigned 31 solar Pyron insulators to eliminate production issue tickets by expanding cutouts and decreased part count by 16%• Performed non-linear static structural FEA analysis to calculate access panel margins using bolted joint and joint stiffness calculators. Correlated existing Femap models of the integrated vehicle with the detailed ANSYS model.• Designed and analyzed a multi-functional, modular bracket for the VAST Waste System from start to finish using DFM and human-centric design principles• Updated drawing notes and CAD for 11 problem resolution tickets to enable faster bonding and refurbishment on composite structures

Long Beach, Ca, Us

• Responsible engineer for the Aeon R test stand fuel and oxidizer feedlines handling all of the design, FEA analysis, manufacturing, and delivery• Designed 39 unique parts in NX, released 21 components & assemblies, pushed feedlines 2 weeks ahead of schedule, prepared backup bellow configurations to save $30,544 per set of feedlines, and developed in-house, machined v-band clamps using DFM under a tight 2-month timeline

Stanford, Ca, Us

• Working with the Hanson Research Group to engineer a hypersonic reflected shock tube for future experiments investigating high-enthalpy air kinetics in the context of hypersonic vehicles and spacecraft reentry using novel laser absorption measurements. • Responsible for the design of a high-pressure, low-leak rate manifold connecting gas bottles, vacuum pumps, pressure gauges, valves, and a mixing tank.

Stanford, Ca, Us

• Mars Co-Lead: Oversee the Mars Bricks and Mars Polar Rover teams, helped grow our membership from 15 to 40 students this past quarter• Mars Bricks Team Member: CAD, 3D-print, and assemble subsystems for our NASA SPOCS-funded Biopolymer Research for In-Situ Capabilities (BRIC) payload that flew to the ISS in July 2022 to investigate the effects of microgravity on the formation of Regolith Biocomposite materials• Polar Rover Co-Lead: Lead the systems and mechanical subteams of our GPS-guided, solar-powered rover with the goal of autonomously traversing the South & North Pole, showing potential as an inexpensive weather & trail data collecting scout rover on the Martian polar ice caps• Rockets Experimental Co-Lead: Researching potential avenues for propulsion (hybrid, solid, water), testing solid fuel for throttling abilities, and developing the final propulsion system for the first collegiate thrust vector controlled rocket with retropropulsive landing capabilities• Rockets Structures Team Member: Constructing a liquid engine rocket’s nose cone, body tube, and fins for the Intercollegiate Rocket Engineering Competition by hand-laying carbon fiber. Integrating the payload, recovery, propulsion, and avionic systems into the airframe

Santa Cruz, California, Us

• Reduced the leak rate of the Air Data Module enclosure’s O-ring seal on pressure sensors by 45% as confirmed by pressure decay leak testing• Engineered laser welded sheet metal vent covers without the use of filler wire to reduce the mass of the Ethernet Switch enclosure by 24%• Designed and optimized metal electronic enclosures from start to finish in CATIA based on thermal, structural, chemical, & sealing requirements• Coordinated DFM and DFA analysis with manufacturing engineers; created engineering drawings using GD&T and statistical tolerance stackups• Performed thermal cycle testing to examine CTE differences and designed barb adapters that enabled successful wind and ice tunnel testing

• Manage and train 4 peer instructors and teach 20 students. Expand coding curriculum to cover Python through Codecademy and Repl.it. • Teach coding concepts and mentor students through projects to spark their interests in coding.

• Teach students younger students the fundamentals of computer science through engaging, creative projects in Scratch and Java. • Created the curriculum for beginner coders in Scratch, including 30 projects of varying difficulty.

Los Angeles, Ca, Us

• Worked with Dr. Katsushi Arisaka in a team of 2 undergraduates regarding his research in the origin of consciousness and neural pathways. • Conducted an auditory reaction time experiment using Arduino for the experimental setup, Python for data collection, and MATLAB for data analysis. Our experiments showed strong relationships between the subjects’ brain waves phase and their auditory reaction time.
