PROJECT EXPERIENCE

Mobile Art Studio (Senior Capstone Project) Binghamton, NY Team Lead August 2019 – May 2020

• Headed an expandable mobile art studio design that included HVAC, lighting, waste disposal, and chemical storage systems

• Facilitated team discussions to identify and document all steps in the design process

• Created a detailed 3D model of the studio in PTC CREO including a telescoping mechanism, lead screw driving system, garage door folding floor, and I-beam support system that works together to expand and support the studio

• Tested model with scaled loading condition in ANSYS APDL to obtain the stress state and deformation at critical points Aircraft Landing Gear (Junior Design Project) Binghamton, NY Solo Project August 2018 – December 2018

• Created the landing gear mechanism assembly in PTC CREO from technical drawings of components which included tolerances and material property to evaluate mechanism safety by applying equivalent theoretical weight load

• Simulated the motion of the landing gear mechanism during landing and take-off using a piston-cylinder driving system

• Evaluated stress state in the linkage system and the connecting joints to determine an approximate factor of safety of 2 18 Stairway to Sustainable Energy Binghamton, NY

Team Member January 2017 – May 2017

• Analyzed current commercial escalator and identified the design aspects that contribute to their energy consumption

• Calculated the average energy consumption of commercial escalators and evaluated the different alternative designs by using Pahl & Beitz evaluation criteria to select the design that best satisfy the design requirements

• Formalized design schematic which incorporated intermittent drive and LED lighting system that reduce energy consumption by 48% and cost by nearly $9400/year
