Designed and modeled a custom experimental tank apparatus in SolidWorks to investigate fluid–structure interaction and pendulum-like motion of aluminum plates in water. Developed a mechanical ejector and release mechanism focusing on alignment, repeatability, and minimization of initial condition variability to improve experimental consistency. Collected and analyzed 500+ high-speed video datasets of fluid–structure interactions, developing 2,000+ lines of MATLAB code for image processing, FFT spectral analysis, and nonlinear curve fitting that reduced model–experiment error to under 3%. Generated clear plots, tables, and technical summaries to document results and support model validation and design decisions.

September 1, 2023 - Present

Designed and 3D-printed 16:1 and 25:1 gearboxes under print-tolerance, backlash, and high-speed durability constraints; validated designs using FEA and experimental testing. Led a team in designing and constructing a matboard bridge, applying structural analysis and MATLAB optimization to achieve 600 N dynamic load capacity with a safety factor of 2. Designed and analyzed a human-interactive mechanical system, applying kinematic modeling to ensure safe motion, load control, and reliable operation, and proposed improvements to reduce material usage and complexity. Used MATLAB to simulate the motion of a four-bar mechanism, evaluating kinematic behavior and timing ratios for design validation.

Assistant Project Coordinator (Mechanical & Manufacturing Support) at YC Intelligent Power & Energy Technologies Ltd

January 1, 2022 - August 31, 2023

Reviewed mechanical component specifications, drawings, and operating requirements to identify feasibility issues and inconsistencies prior to implementation. Performed side-by-side comparisons of alternative components and materials, summarizing trade-offs in performance, durability, and integration constraints for engineering review. Created and maintained structured tables and summary documents capturing key design parameters, revision changes, and engineering assumptions. Consolidated supplier technical data sheets, drawings, and quotes into standardized formats to improve clarity and traceability during internal reviews.
