As a senior mechanical engineering student, I’ve worked on a variety of projects that have pushed my skills in design, prototyping, and analysis. This section highlights some of my favorite and final projects, showcasing my journey through different areas of mechanical engineering. These projects are presented in no specific order.

Principles of Integrated Engineering (PIE):
For our final project, I served as the mechanical engineer, handling various aspects of the drone's design and function. My primary responsibilities included designing the aluminum frame, which was prototyped in acrylic using a laser cutter and later manufactured with a water jet. I also worked on the electronics housing, motor control, and safety features.
The drone was designed to be controlled by hand, using a glove equipped with an angular velocity sensor for directional control and a flex sensor on the finger to manage throttle. Unfortunately, the night before the final presentation, the drone's electronics were damaged. As a backup, we quickly adapted the project into a remote control car version to meet the deadline.
Mechanics of Solids and Structures:
In this project, I analyzed the mounts for a rear wing of a race car, using data gathered from CFD analysis of an airfoil. The focus was specifically on the horizontal crossbar, where two different beam shapes were tested. The analysis was guided by constraints such as angular deflection, allowing me to evaluate how much weight could be saved based on the beam shape.
