Modeling & CAD
Used SolidWorks and Fusion 360 for part design, assemblies, mechanism layouts, fixture design, and manufacturing-ready documentation.
Assembly-level design
Multi-part systems, linkage packaging, tolerance-sensitive interfaces, and manufacturable geometry.
Design iteration
Fast concept changes linked to fabrication feedback, test results, and packaging constraints.
Documentation
Drawings, tolerances, and geometry definition that support machining and assembly.
Simulation & Controls
Built and tuned multibody and system-level models to predict vehicle behavior, evaluate control strategies, and accelerate design iteration.
Vehicle dynamics
Rigid-body modeling, suspension kinematics, tire forces, steering response, and load transfer.
Driver-in-the-loop thinking
Closed-loop driver and control logic integration for representative lap time simulation.
Runtime optimization
Model architecture and solver tuning to move from slow offline studies toward rapid iteration.
FEA & Thermal Analysis
Applied analysis tools to understand structural limits, guide lightweighting, and evaluate heat transfer in constrained systems.
Structural evaluation
Load-path review, iso-clipping, and stress interpretation to support mass reduction without losing performance.
Thermal modeling
Pane thickness, gas fill, emissivity, and enclosure configuration trade studies for thermal performance.
Analysis-to-test loop
Used staged validation to compare model expectations with physical test behavior.
Programming & Engineering Workflow
Used MATLAB, Python, and Excel to support simulation, kinematic calculations, data organization, and practical engineering decision-making.
Python
Kinematic sizing models, data handling, printer tuning workflows, and automation support.
MATLAB
System analysis, simulation support, and engineering computation.
Excel
Practical tracking, calculations, and engineering communication for test and design work.
