• Mechanical Engineering Intern

  • May 2023 - Present

  • Assisted in the planning, documenting, procedure design, and operation of test series for 4 different projects. • Coded data processing scripts in MATLAB using structures that read raw CSV test data, applied noise filtering, performed necessary calculations, and produced figures, graphs, and plots for further analysis. • Analyzed post-processed test data then collaborated with team(s) validate testing configurations and determine suitable modifications to test matrix appropriate for the project schedule. • Presented progress, problems, and PowerPoints at weekly meetings with team(s) to discuss testing schedule, debug problems, and collectively determine the best course of action. • Utilized SolidWorks to create engineering drawings of a test rig design for later fabrication. • Tasked with developing a testing matrix to assess feasibility of integrating 3D printed carbon fiber reinforced plastics into test rig design that can resist ~ 98kN impact forces without delamination or structural failure. • Developed scaled prototypes, finalized parts, and printed CFR samples for impact testing to determine material feasibility. • Developed a pig head model using SolidWorks that could accommodate 4 pressure transducers, and 3D printed the pig head for testing with Emory University. • Worked in a team of 3 to revise a catheter testing procedure, performed 3-point bending tests, and collected data to develop an accurate numerical model using LS-Dyna numerical simulations for research use in robotic endovascular surgeries. • Assisted in the operational management, maintenance, and improvement of both 3D printers. Developed a long-term strategy for the storage of perishable filaments. Coordinated printing schedule with other teams and interns. Show less
