Assistant Machine Shop Supervisor

INSIA

Used Matlab’s Simulink to interface CarSim and AVL Cruise, and co-simulate electric vehicle tests.
Created vehicle dynamic simulations to calculate / analyze rolling resistance, brake force distribution, slip angle, vehicle forces, etc.
Modified and validated vehicle models with real test data - implemented a PID controller for dynamic gain adjustment and errors reduction.

Automotive Engineering Intern

GE’s Dare to Lead Program is designed to uncover top-tier candidates and prepare them as a leader. The high-energy program helped me learn and develop skills for leadership in engineering.

GE Dare to Lead

Primus Power

Created a pump test platform (PTP) for conducting an accelerated life durability test for a 3-way mixing valve. The PTP included a variety of sensors and controls for creating worst-case scenario environments. Project was designed and simulated with Solidworks and Lab View.

Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics

Devised a voltage controller with a touchscreen interface currently fielded at the Submillimeter Array.
