• Constructed and refined 15+ Manufacturing Process Instructions (MPIs) to standardize procedures across all workstations, reducing variation and ensuring compliance with quality standards. • Designed and implemented 30+ custom fixtures and tooling that improved operator efficiency and consistency, contributing to higher throughput and reduced handling errors. • Collaborated cross-functionally with R&D, manufacturing, and quality teams to establish and optimize a full production line, supporting the seamless transition from product design to scalable manufacturing.

• Designed and prototyped next-generation core wires for TAVR smart guidewires using SolidWorks, producing 20+ design iterations that improved bench-test performance. • 3D printed custom components and parts to prototype and test conceptual designs for smart guidewire system, Hub, and supporting products. • Coordinated with global suppliers to qualify cost-effective, high-reliability materials, ensuring supply chain readiness and preventing potential delays in pilot builds.

• Designing and testing a speed climbing hand hold with load sensing capabilities • Working with athletes and trainers to generate a design with the aim of improving performance and training regimens. With improved technology comes the ability to refine training techniques for athletes.

• Utilized MATLAB and SolidWorks to design and draft precise schematics of cylinder bodies, pistons, and intake valves, contributing to the development of high-efficiency engine models. • Improved engine cooling by optimizing heat sink design and coolant circulation.

• Optimized bolt tightening process by implementing robotic automation, reduced manual work hours from 20 hours (3 workers) to 11 hours (robotic arms). • Applied visual recognition techniques to simplify operations, significantly reduced hub robot working station time from 1.5 days to less than 5 hours per part. • Innovated an intelligent warehousing system utilizing KBK cranes and RGV robots, integrating AGV for streamlined material delivery.

Worked with the Professor and other teaching team members to reinforce Students learning skills and material comprehension through weekly discussions, study halls, and teaching team meetings.

• Worked with Mechanical Team, designed parts using SolidWorks and fabricated using tools in Machine shop. • Used Prusa 3D printer and laser cutter to design the electrical box for the electrical team. • Collaborated with the Programming team to ensure concepts are functional and install Arduino on the robot. • Got third place in 2022 NASA Lunabotics Competition.

• Operated Fisnar 3D printer and Repetrel 3D printing software for ink sample testing. • Designed PCB board prototype using Altium Designer. • Conducted experiments to optimize ink formulations for microwave-transparent glasses using CAB-O-SILEH-5 amorphous silica nano-powders, Tetraglyme, and PDMs.

• Managed equipment installation and maintenance in collaboration with clients. • Achieved <1% error rate in the examination of Potato cutting machine design models. • Conducted research on potato seeding and cutting machines’ development, aquaculture industry equipment and manufacturers. Authored and presented reports on both topics to the mechanical and electrical teams.
