• Mechanical Team Co-Lead

  • Jun 2023 - Present

• Aerodynamics and Composites Lead

  • May 2022 - Jun 2023

  Managed the manufacturing and design of a multi-component aerodynamics package for a formula student race car using STAR-CCM+ simulations.Achieved a minimum coefficient of downforce of 3.75, a 45%increase compared to the previously designed aero package.

• Mechanical Member

  • Sep 2021 - Jun 2022

  Undertook various intersubsystem projects:- Designed and manufactured an “Aero rake” system using pitot tubes and metal framing to calulate the pressure differential (thus instantaneous velocity) at various regions of the car in order to validate our design and CFD simulations. - Designed and manufactured a new “Pushbar” for the team. New version was lighter, easily storable and easier to transport. - Designed a new seat for the car with the goal of optimizing driver positioning and lowering CG. - Show less



Mallouk Lab, University of Pennsylvania

• Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

• Fuel Cell Researcher

  • May 2022 - Aug 2022

  ● Developed a novel synthesis method for NiFe Layered Double Hydroxide membranes, a class of inorganic material with high ionic conductivities and water retention capabilities. ● Created various permutations of these membranes and tested each on a fuel cell system, characteristic polarization curves showed great promise for these membranes to be used at temperatures exceeding 100°C ● Developed a novel synthesis method for NiFe Layered Double Hydroxide membranes, a class of inorganic material with high ionic conductivities and water retention capabilities. ● Created various permutations of these membranes and tested each on a fuel cell system, characteristic polarization curves showed great promise for these membranes to be used at temperatures exceeding 100°C
