Undergraduate Research

Wave Carpet Project – Undergraduate Assistant

Theoretical and Applied Fluids Laboratory, University of California, Berkeley Berkeley, California

January 2015 – May 2015

Developed Simulink models and MATLAB scripts to test the efficiency of a hydraulic circuit under various configurations and parameters

Constructed preliminary 2D and 3D models using ANSYS Fluent and compared computational models with analytical and experimental results

Collaborated with and assisted graduate students in making Simulink and computational fluid dynamics models Engineering Projects

Mechatronics Design: Self-Balancing Bicycle

Investigated dynamics of “track-stand” balancing of a bicycle and developed state-feedback and PID controller in Simulink and implemented control scheme using an MBED microcontroller

Collaborated with teammates in order to design and install hardware to balance the bicycle Mechanical Engineering Laboratory: Self-Erecting Inverted Pendulum

Developed a PID controller on Arduino microcontroller and optimized controller design based on observations of the response to optimize performance

Coordinated with 6 other team members to design, manufacture, and test a cart and pendulum system

Resolved failures in design of drive system and sensor mounts through design analysis and iterative prototyping. Product Development: Self-Sanitizing Door Handle

Directed a team of 3 other students in conducting in-person interviews with targeted consumers to identify user needs

Utilized user feedback in conjunction with rapid prototyping techniques to quickly produce low-fidelity prototypes

Designed high-fidelity prototype in SOLIDWORKS and manufactured body and microcontroller for a self-sanitizing door handle

Relevant Extracurricular Activities

Member of Cal Human-Powered Vehicle Competition Team University of California, Berkeley

Berkeley, California

June 2015 - December 2015

Coordinated with senior members to develop a braking system for the team’s first ever tricycle prototype

Communicated with machine shop technicians to design parts that were optimized for weight, machinability, and robustness to failure

Utilized rapid prototyping techniques to test the geometrical fit of designed brake caliper mounts and iterate on design, resulting in a parts with a perfect fit.

Member of UC Berkeley Solar Vehicle Competition Team University of California, Berkeley

Berkeley, California

February 2014-October 2014

Designed and tested parking brake system to optimize for performance and ease of use

Assisted senior members of the team in devising a conceptual design for a dynamometer to test the performance of team built motors.

Coordinated with fellow team members to create 3D SOLIDWORK models for components of the first prototype of the dynamometer
