TENNIBOT (*st robotic tennis ball collector)

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Designed collection, dispense and storage systems for Tennibot-X prototype, a remote-controlled robotic ballperson used during competitive tennis tournaments Optimized ball storage capacity by 40%, reduced human presence in the courts by 25% and achieved continuous operation for at least 5 hrs Developed electromechanical control system for the existing prototype enabling it to detect players and dispense balls at proper location and time Mechanical Engineering Intern August 2020 – December 2020 SUNPOWER ($1B public company, #1 Market Share in N. America) Reduced installation times by 60% by designing a new tool to optimize wire management and alignment configurations for SunPower’s fully integrated roof-plus-solar solution, OneRoof

Planned, constructed and conducted lab experiments comparing different screw manufacturers to ensure adherence with UL certifications for uplift, selecting SunPower’s preferred vendor

Conducted a series of waterproofing tests for OneRoof, comparing different drilling methods and configurations and presented installation recommendations to ensure 100% water resistance

R&D Mechanical Engineering Intern June 2020 – August 2020 ME 4012 - Modelling and Control of Motion Systems Spring 2020 ME 3180 - Machine Design Fall 2019

ME 2110 - Creative Decisions and Design Fall 2018 Designed and controlled a 1-DOF inverted pendulum with a reaction wheel system

Stabilized the system using LQR and created a video simulation for the system’s response to various disturbances.

Designed multiple versions of industrial conveyor with components ranging from support rails to drive shafts and gear-driven systems. Optimized design accounting for material cost, weight & availability, strength

(static and dynamic loads) and lifetime fatigue resistance. Invented and built an autonomous robot that identified, classified and placed different objects to their designated locations, while competing with 3 other autonomous robots.

Ranked #1 robot in the class section and top quartile of the entire class. Conducted interviews and coordinated selection process from 2000+ students among volunteers from Georgia Tech, MIT, Stanford, Berkeley. LEADERSHIP
