- Built a new Add-In for Fusion360 to compute an instantaneous Strength Analysis on the user’s model, producing results in 0.7 sec: an improvement of 99.77% from typical simulations requiring a minimum of 5 minutes of runtime- Designed and Implemented the UI using Python and the Fusion360 API, constructing Custom Graphics to dynamically display interactive results directly on the model- Captured user inputs from the UI using JSON then processed data using C++ to calculate results using the Solver- Presented my work to over 40 stakeholders across the company, collaborating cross-functionally with Product Managers, UX Designers, Research, and Development Teams to drive momentum to establish this as a permanent feature

Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, United States

- Developed a new load type, Rotational Velocity, for Substructure Analysis within the Ansys Mechanical product- Architected problem constraints across the codebase using C++ in Visual Studio, navigating over 100,000 lines of code, then used the Ansys/Mechanical APDL command language to accurately launch the Solver- Resolved 2-3 bugs each Sprint while gaining expertise in a breadth of topics, including Static Structural, Modal, and Harmonic Analyses, as well as Condensed Part, Contact Face Scoping, and Named Selection inputs

- Researching, testing, and integrating open-source ROS1 and ROS2 lidar localization (SLAM) packages into the existing autonomous racing stack to enable uninterrupted localization in GPS denied portions of the track- Benchmarking to track and compare package performance, focusing on localization accuracy, and CPU and GPU usage

- Studying insect flight evolution by analyzing flight paths of projectiles crafted with differently shaped, sized, and located wings- Practicing fluid mechanic analysis when characterizing the flight paths to compare to flight paths of various insects- Looking for patterns in how wing characteristics influence flight paths- Working under Professor Robert Dudley's Flight Lab

- Assisted a virtual classroom of 54 international high school girls teaching HTML/CSS/JS web development. leading review sessions & debugging support- Responsible for fostering a welcoming, supportive, and engaging environment by modeling a positive mindset, embracing struggle, and persistence

- Learned NASA terminology, how to read a project solicitation, and how to translate mission goals into a viable project- Practiced by writing a proposal for a new light-based 3D printing method for in-Space use with a project timeline, budget, subject matter experts, and technology and risk analysis

Berkeley, California, United States

- Designed and manufactured a new seat: 3D printing a mold, doing carbon fiber layups, and designing and machining new hardware- Facilitated knowledge transfer on brake rotors and sourced a new harness- Learned how to maintain brake lines by changing tubes and flushing brake fluid- Practiced engineering design by running FEA simulations, hosting design reviews, testing real-life prototypes, and using feedback to revise designs- Used PDM, Notion, and Google Drive to organize projects on a large team

- Investigated the impact of rooftop solar on reducing energy burden- Learned R to complete data analysis and ggplot2 to graph data- Explored US demographics data, particularly measures of income by household- Engaged with the Energy Markets and Policy group to learn about ongoing research areasIntern through Berkeley Lab's Experiences in Research Program

- Helping Instructors with lessons, class management, and anything else needed- Building camp culture by facilitating community activities to bring positivity and support- A 2 week Web Development Camp covering HTML, CSS, and JS

Berkeley, California, United States

- Engaged with Berkeley Lab’s scientists to learn about STEM careers- Participated in daily STEM workshops and seminars- Learned the professional skills to working in STEM environments- Collaborated with fellow apprentices to build a final projectApprentice through Berkeley Lab's Inaugural Director's Apprenticeship Program

- Studied the fundamentals of Cosmology through Physics- Engaged with Berkeley Lab scientists to learn about the latest Cosmology research- Collaborated with students to create a research final project- Improved self study habits by practicing asking questions and engaging in extra lessons outside class

San Francisco Bay Area

- Leveraged Email and Social Media marketing to attract 600+ applicants for Superposition IV, the Bay Area's largest All-Female Hackathon- Designed Social Media posts using Canva to promote Superposition programs and events- Lead a team for the Campus Ambassador Program
