•Integrated real-time telemetry across a 2-stage rocket system (booster, sustainer, and nose cone payload section). •Designed integration process for GPS (lat/long), barometric altimetry, and flight-state data to support a target apogee of 25,000 ft. •Conducted multi-stage hardware calibration and pre-flight validation testing to ensure telemetry is accuracy and can provide stable communications with ground station. •Configured pyrotechnic charge systems for two stage-separation events ensuring e-match firing accuracy, precise ignition timing at the correct altitude conditions.

• Provided detailed technical feedback for 30+ students on homework assignments involving kinematics and dynamics of machinery, including 4-bar and slider-crank mechanisms, with emphasis on position, velocity, acceleration, and force analysis. • Identified and analyzed common errors in students’ problem-solving approaches, and developed supplementary solution sets and study materials to address learning gaps and improve conceptual understanding.

Under the guidance of Dr Te Faye Yap, • Designed and developed hardware and firmware for a Direct Ink Writing (DIW) printer for two-part elastomer ( eco flex and dragon skin) 3D printing, implementing custom real-time G-code macros, PID temperature tuning, input shaping, custom camera and Klipper firmware for optimized motion control and user interface integration. • Applied COMSOL Multiphysics Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations and FDM and DLP additive manufacturing techniques to design and fabricate reusable static mixer assemblies, identifying dead zones and inefficient flow paths to improve material mixing performance and flow consistency.

Under the guidance of Dr. Tianlu Wang, • Contributed to the development of high-performance soft robotic systems to address real-world engineering challenges, involving the design, fabrication, modeling, actuation, sensing, control, and analysis of soft robotic grippers. • Collaborated closely with undergraduate researchers UROP and graduate students to test and evaluate gripper jamming performance and stiffness characteristics, and improved the soft robotic gripper grasping capabilities based on experimental results and performance analysis.

•Organize executive board meetings and record meeting minutes •Track board member availability and schedule meetings •Send emails to members about events and opportunities •Manage the ASME Google Drive and update the chapter calendar

As the owner and founder of 3Z Proto 3D@Hawaii, I manage every aspect of the business, from customer service and product design to quality control and delivery.

Assisted in the procurement and construction phases of a utility-scale fixed and rotating solar field. Updated project reports and technical drawings. Managed RFIs, submittals, and daily reports for PV and BESS deliveries for the Waiawa and Ho‘ohana Solar Projects. Developed and implemented VBA tools in Excel to improve PV and BESS module tracking. Collaborated with subcontractors and the project manager to ensure timely and accurate deliveries.

As a 1-2 Buy Team Member and Promoter, I manage the store's Instagram account, creating engaging content to showcase products and connect with customers. I collaborate with management on strategic resource planning and streamline inventory processes by efficiently ordering and replenishing stock. My bilingual proficiency in Chinese and English ensures clear communication among team members. Additionally, I oversee financial management, conducting daily budget assessments, recording financial data, and executing fund transfers to support business operations.

Currently pursuing a Mechanical Engineering Degree at the University of Hawaii at Manoa.
