  • Lead Cooling Engineer

    • Jun 2022 - Jun 2023

    - Designing the outboard cooling system to prevent overheating of the motor and motor controller. - Wrote a MATLAB script to calculate the estimated heat dissipation and pressure drop from a Volkswagen OEM Heater Core given varying inlet conditions by using the effectiveness-NTU method. - Performed internal flow simulations to determine pressure drops throughout the cooling loop.

  • Drivetrain Engineer

    • Sep 2019 - Jun 2022

    - Designed the inboard differential sprocket for high voltage (HV) architecture, and differential sprocket adapter for lower voltage architecture with design for manufacturability in mind. o Utilized topology studies to guide optimal cutout geometry for best stiffness-to-weight ratio, yielding ~15% weight reduction for the inboard differential sprocket from design optimization studies. o Performed static finite element analysis (FEA) studies in SolidWorks to determine the maximum displacement and factor of safety, and fatigue analysis studies to verify part life. o Used CAM in HSMWorks to verify manufacturability of parts and create g-code. o Made drawings, while utilizing GD&T, for the differential sprocket adapter and soft jaw work holding fixture. o Manually machined the differential sprocket adapter to size then used a 3 Axis CNC Mill to finish the more intricate operations. - Reverse engineered radiator fans and optimized the mounting solution through both material and fastener selection, and bracket design to minimize mass and volumetric footprint. - Researched SolidWorks’ FEA mesh settings to further improve the accuracy of our team’s simulation results. o Originally used a curvature-based mesh with an h-adaptive convergence study on the differential sprocket adapter but due to a singularity in the 0.2mm spline fillet, I switched to a blended curvature-based mesh which yielded satisfactory and more realistic results.

    At MCOE, I helped teach a CyberPatriot Academy camp, which showed students the importance of cyber security, and how to protect their devices on Windows and Ubuntu Linux. After the summer program, I updated a professional website to store previous meetings’ agendas and minutes, and set up networks and devices for College of Marin’s multiple campuses.
