UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCH

Fall 2011- Present Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Dept. Rutgers University - New Brunswick, NJ

Cooperative Research Initiative - World’s Lightest Flyer Project

* Collaborated with a design team in an attempt to set the newest record for the world’s lightest remote control aerial vehicle.

* Extensive research and empirical calculations were carried out to ensure proper weight distribution and power capacity.

* Served as team leader and responsible for reporting the group’s progress and findings to an advisor on a weekly basis.

Summer 2011 Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Dept. Rutgers University - New Brunswick, NJ

National Aeronautics Space Administration (NASA) Fellowship Recipient -New Jersey Science Grant Consortium (NJSGC)

* Examined the flight behavior of small flapping vehicle (aircraft) using kinematic-kinetic analysis of tiny insects.

* Utilized CAD techniques (Solidworks) to simulate insect musculature and the energy system that induces indirect flight.

* Culminated my research through a poster and oral presentation at a selective NASA fellowship consortium.

Spring 2010 –Present Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Dept. Rutgers University - New Brunswick, NJ

Robotics Research Assistant- Flying Insect and Wing Analysis, Flapping Robots

* Utilized engineering software such as Matlab, ANSYS, and SolidWorks to replicate wing structures and convert to numerical and graphical data.

* Worked collaboratively on a research team to design, implement, and analyze data extracted from computer aided modeling.

* Extensive experience with key characterization techniques including: inspecting, explaining, and reflecting.

* Effectively communicated the project through a poster presentation and oral presentation at a research symposium.

WORK EXPERIENCE
