- Designed and manufactured the carbon fiber reclined seat to minimize weight- Executed FEA's on the rear brake rotors- Handled BOM generation and subteam part tracking

The Gyroscopic Force Optimization Lab researches using a processed flywheel (gyroscope) to redistribute forces for planetary rovers to improve traction and increase driving speed. I do the theoretical calculations as well as coordinate the design, fabrication, and integration of the outer gimbal.

Research team member on INSTAR: Inertial Storage And Recovery project, under Prof. Dennis Lieu, designing and manufacturing a high-power, cost-effective flywheel energy storage system to improve the electric and hybrid vehicle system efficiency. I am on the solid parts sub-team and design and manufacture parts for the drivetrain and pedal tray using Solidworks and many machining techniques including milling, lathing, and waterjeting.

- Oversee 3 CAD contractors in an initiative to expedite project throughput - Manage 7 structural subsystems through CAD generation and purchasing - Build structural CAD systemization processes to increase production speed

Canceled due to COVID-19

Founded a 10 team FTC league in the Compton Unified and Inglewood Unified School Districts with my FIRST mentor. Each high school now has 2 FTC teams, 2-3 teacher/mentors and a fully equipped robotics workshop providing a solid base for sustainability of the program. My team, FTC 9804 Bomb Squad, provided a 1000+ hours of volunteer time to execute on the League successfully. I also introduced the CIL as an "approved" service opportunity for Loyola High School, which created a source of volunteers for the future.The 2016-17 season was a great success with 2 teams* advancing to the LA/SoCal Regional Championship and both school districts committing to the continued support of the program! For the 2017-18 season, FIRST awarded Compton Unified a large grant to grow their program. https://www.firstinspires.org/stories/strategies-creating-stem-engagement-opportunities-high-poverty-schools?utm_source=linkedin&utm_medium=don&utm_campaign=first-stories&utm_content=stem-equity-schoolsCompton HS Robotics was recently featured in a national commercial with NFL star, Richard ShermanThe pathway to the CIL:-Designed a multiyear program for the 5 high schools-Pitched concept to superintendents, principals & received necessary School Board approvals-Registered 10 teams & received 10 FIRST grants and 10 Alcoa grants-Liaised with District Coordinator on purchasing & deliveries-Outfitted dedicated workshops-Presented to LAFTC Planning Committee to receive approval of the League-Recruited students with Robot Demo days at each high school (450 kids registered interest!)-Designed & produced FTC training materials-Organized and ran teacher training meetings-Mentored teams on technology, design & build-Produced 4 large events at high schools (Meets 0-3)-Provided a large majority of roles at events with volunteers

I founded the FLL program at the school with the help of the Vice Principal, Mrs. Margulis. The team is comprised of 9 students and competed at the Windward Qualifier in their rookie season!

My final role was mentoring 3408, especially in the strategy and prototyping phase of the build process.
