WORK EXPERIENCE

- Research Assistant at U OF C (Fall 2019 - Present) Was responsible for conducting a literature survey for the existing methods of vibration control in machine tools and robot arms. Designed a system that eliminates some of the disadvantages of the existing methods, as well as reducing the size and cost. Conducted simulations to determine the system’s minimum requirements and optimize the parameters of the design to achieve maximum performance. Currently responsible for contacting suppliers and assembling a working prototyping for the design.

- Graduate Teaching Assistant for Foundations of Mechatronics lab at U of C (Fall 2019 – Spring 2020) Instructed and supervised lab sessions for the "Introduction to Mechatronics" course. I helped students to develop their debugging skills for codes and circuit design, maintained a learning atmosphere in labs, and assessed the students’ performance.
