  Bright machines

  Jun 2019 - Aug 2019

  Software intern

  Bright Machines is a software-defined manufacturing company that combines software, machine learning, computer vision and adaptive robotics to automate the most manual phases of the manufacturing process. During my internship I investigated programs for their CAD translator service and assisted with various 3D Modeling related components of their digital twin, a virtual simulator of factory machines.

  Formula electric at berkeley

  Aug 2019 - Jun 2024

  Formula SAE Electric is an international engineering design competition where university students design and construct a Formula-style electric race car that is judged for acceleration, efficiency, endurance and other aspects.Led FEB's powertrain team in the research, design, and manufacturing of the teams first ever running powertrain. Managed team of 8 students in design of vehicle lap simulation, chain driven 3.53:1 drivetrain, 3.2kW cooling system, and dynamometer testing. 2022-23 powertrain design reduced custom part count by over 20%, added active cooling, and added options for drivetrain tuning. The powertrain ultimately passed mechanical inspection on the first try at competition, the team's first time ever doing so. Show less

  Uc berkeley embodied dexterity group (edg)

  Aug 2022 - Jan 2023

  Mechanical engineering researcher

  EDG studies the design of robots for real-word grasping and dexterous manipulation. The research impacts a wide range of applications including space/ocean exploration, search and rescue, industrial/service tasks and human assistancePrototyped, designed, and manufactured multiple variable transmission grasping prostheses. Employed ideas from CVTs to increase dexterity and minimize exertion while balancing cost, weight, and power. Paper has been accepted for publication by IEEE International Conference on Rehabilitation Robotics in September 2023. Show less
