About Me

Aspiring Engineer | Pursuing Bachelor's & Master's Degrees

I'm a dedicated mechanical engineering student working toward both my bachelor's and master's degrees, driven by a passion for innovation, problem-solving, and cutting-edge technology. Currently pursuing my bachelor's degree, I have a strong interest in continuing my education with a master's to deepen my expertise. I have a strong fascination with all things automotive, high-performance sports car design, and the role of emerging technologies in shaping the future of the industry. Whether it's CAD modeling, structural analysis, or exploring how AI can enhance mechanical systems, I'm always looking for ways to push the boundaries of what's possible. Proficient in CAD and analysis programs like SolidWorks, ANSYS, and MATLAB, I enjoy both the technical and creative aspects of engineering. My interests also extend to smart automation, technology, and the intersection of software and mechanical design. My long-term goal is to work in the automotive or tech industry, designing next-generation vehicles or leading a team that does. I'm always looking to connect with fellow engineers, car enthusiasts, and professionals in the field to collaborate, share ideas, and learn from each other. Let's build something great together!

Experience

• US ITER ICH System Intern
  US ITER Project at Oak Ridge National Lab
  May 2024 - August 2024
• Utilized computer aided design software SolidWorks to design a suitable microphone enclosure for a transmission line test stand. Intentionally revised and improved upon initial design to finalize an enclosure that allows for ease of assembly, adjustability, reliability and maintainability, and keeping a compact geometry. Acquire and process signal data using the Signal Processing Toolbox in the MATLAB program to optimize signal accuracy and improve microphone separation distance.
• US ITER Design and Analysis Intern
  US ITER Project at Oak Ridge National Lab
  August 2023 - December 2023
• Performed structural analysis for the Material Plasma Exposure Experiment on the ORNL main campus using computer programs ANSYS Workbench and SpaceClaim. Worked on piping analysis for the Electron Cyclotron Heating Cooling Water system for ITER using computer programs CAESAR II and Microsoft Excel. Completed a wide range of project management tasks using Microsoft Office applications. Collaborated with other members of the team to perform such tasks and participated in meetings and discussions.
