02.Experience
Mechanical Engineering Intern
FORCE MOTORS LTD.
Jun 2025 – Aug 2025
- Developed a Python-based mechanical guideline to define critical component geometry for a new 8-web crankshaft prototype with an increased peak firing pressure, reducing simulation iterations by an estimated 20-25%.
- Transformed 10+ 2D legacy powertrain component drawings into 3D models using CATIA V5 for the CAD data migration process using GD&T methods.
- Formulated an Excel-based tool to calculate optimal counterweight COG placement using polar moment of inertia, reducing static and dynamic crankshaft imbalance by >90%.
Mechanical Engineering Intern
GALA PRECISION LTD.
Jun 2024 – Aug 2024
- Conducted FEA simulations using Ansys Static Structural and modal analysis on coil spring designs to compare open vs. closed coil configurations, providing data-backed recommendations to the client.
- Optimized the conveyor systems by introducing angled brackets in a Kaizen-based initiative, reducing part loss from spring spillage during the stress-relieving stage by 90%, saving 15 minutes of labor, daily.
- Demonstrated a 20% difference in compressive force and a 12% variation in displacement under load, highlighting reduced stress concentrations in closed spring designs.

ILLINI ELECTRIC MOTORSPORT | FSAE
Front Wing Structures Lead | Aug 2024 – Present
- Headed product development of an 8-element carbon fiber front wing using Ansys ACP and Mechanical to define ply schedules, limiting deflection to 0.125" while minimizing mass.
- Engineered carbon-fiber struts in PTC Creo, validated via Ansys Static Structural to withstand 1,533 N of downforce, achieving a 42% weight reduction compared to legacy aluminum designs.
- Fabricated a complete 21-element aero package, executing 100+ hours of precision pre-preg carbon fiber layup to ensure high-fidelity surface finish.
COMPOSITES ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING LAB
Undergraduate Researcher | Jan 2025 – June 2025
- Conducted standardized tensile and shear testing on CF3D® composites using Instron systems to evaluate performance, establishing a UTS of 1395 MPa and shear strength of 66.59 MPa.
- Incorporated novel test coupon geometries using SolidWorks to overcome additive manufacturing constraints (minimum tow length), improving test reliability and minimizing material waste through prototype testing.
- Authored a technical paper summarizing tensile and shear characteristics, presented findings to a panel of 3 professors.
