Education

• University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (expected May 2020) Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering GPA: 3.27 Urbana, IL Experience

• Senior Design Project – ResnENT Injection Handle (August – December 2019)

- Developed a mechanism for an injection handle that attached to a syringe with a balloon catheter, capable of injecting 5-10 cc of fluid at a pressure of 12 atm.

- Communicated and collaborated with faculty advisor and sponsor to develop a product that satisfied customer needs.

• Undergraduate Research – Bahl Research Group (May – August 2018)

- Worked on developing a low frequency communications device for transmissions over long distances using frequencies of around 1kHz (most transmissions occur at a MHz magnitude).

- Designed a platform to allow slots for stators to push and fall into. Stators establish an external magnetic field and allow for a restoring torque which is applied on the central rotating magnet, which results in power being dissipated.

• Undergraduate Research – Lange Research Group (January – August 2018)

- Worked on mixing and forming different types of concrete based on the ingredients and ratios.

- Learned how to handle heavy machinery in the concrete lab and learned about lab safety and cleanliness.

- Testing data analyzed from mixing concrete into the rheometer and gathering and compiling data.

• DNV-GL – Intern at Jack-up Service Center (May – July 2017)

- Used ABAQUS to design a global model of a jack up rig, as well as a local model of a rack and pinion.

- Applied various types of loads such as environmental loads and live loads to global model to recreate and simulate a jack up rig out at sea in a worst-case scenario, to obtain contact stresses between each rack and pinion combination.

- Utilized international standards to examine and authenticate engineering drawings for clientele. Organizations

• Illini Boxing Club – Competitive Team Member (September 2018 – Present)

- Committing to eight hours a week of team training, along with rigorous individual training outside club meeting hours.
