Mechanical Design for Optimus Actuators

Mechanical Design for Robotaxi high voltage battery

• Leading a team of ten undergraduate students, responsible for project overview, detailed design reviews and timeline management •Designed and fabricated top shell struts and steering tie rod brackets in preparation for the annual Formula Sun Grand Prix competition • Currently designing a bell crank suspension system for our next generation vehicle

• Redesigned the vehicle’s braking and steering system configuration using SolidWorks and Ansys to improve driver foot space and usability • Created skeleton models in SolidWorks and used safe external referencing techniques to determine needed adjustments on various design parameters

• Designed a vacuum gripper robot end of arm tooling and conducted FEA using Inventor. Sized and sourced blowers, tubing, fittings, and suction cups based on test data. • Analyzed feasibility by simulating the robot workflow in ABB robot studio and generated robot safety cell drawings in AutoCAD according to ISO 10218-2:2011. • Led the testing of an ingredient pneumatic conveyor using Arduino controlled pressure transducers connected to Microsoft VBA and Power Query for efficient analysis. • Used Inventor iLogic to automate CAD workflow of commonly fabricated parts such as Cyclones.

As a residence advisor, I enhance the residence experience of 29 first-year students through peer-to-peer support. Through working with a team of RAs I plan and facilitate various community-building programs to engage residents
