- Created Computer-aided Design (CAD) model of car's chassis using Solidworks - Conducted Finite Element Analysis (FEA) using Ansys Mechanical- Ran Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations on airfoil configurations using Star CCM+- Used bandsaw to cut chassis tubes precisely and used belt sander and buffing wheel to eliminate impurities in preparation for welding- Manufacture metal parts using belt sander, buffing wheel, bandsaw, tube bender/notcher, lathe, mill, and tig welder

- Gained leadership and networking skills through educational workshops and team-building activities- Evaluated strengths and weaknesses to improve communication in professional environments- Developed a growth and entrepreneurial mindset in personal projects

- Developed robotics integrated coding (C++/Ch block code) curriculum for 5th-8th graders, leading to increased student engagement and interest in STEM careers- Collaborated with graduate students to design 50+ hands-on activities with problems, solutions, hints, and automatic grading- Identified improvements to coding features to maximize teaching effectiveness

- Fabricated robotic parts using jigsaw, bandsaw, drill press, hand mill, and hand drill- Assembled a robot’s climber and drivetrain, drove robot during competition to win 2nd place- Designed prototypes of a climber with varying materials, sizes, and configurations- Utilized Solidworks to create 3D models and assemblies of mechanisms and robot subsystems- Volunteered in community outreach initiatives to present and teach kids how to CAD and build robots, inspiring them to pursue STEM- Contributed to the 10,000 character essay that helped my team win the Silicon Valley Regional Chairman's Award, FIRST's most prestigious award

- Implemented electromechanical devices to improve control and maneuverability of animatronics- Programmed servo motors with varying accelerations and speeds to rotate eyes, ears, and mouthof a lion dance head, mimicking a realistic lion’s movement- Operated an oscilloscope to analyze electrical circuits (555 timer, operational amplifier) and investigated potential applications- Soldered an accelerometer together

- Conducted research on genetically modifying bacteria to bioengineer a fluorescent plant,targeting light pollution’s harmful implications on human health- Analyzed scholarly articles on bioengineering methods- Conceptualized ethical, technical and feasibility issues involved in product development- Constructed an abstract and presented findings to 50+ professors and industry professionals
