My Projects

I led the design and manufacturing of a carbon composite arched beam for a team project, ensuring it met strict SAMPE regulations. I fabricated the test beams through composite vacuum infusion and analyzed structural testing results to iterate and optimize the design. Our second manufactured beam was sent to the SAMPE conference in April 2026 to represent USC.

I leveraged CAD and Finite Element Analysis to engineer a topologically optimized bottle opener for minimal material weight. After iteratively designing and testing multiple plastic prototypes to validate the form and mechanics, I am currently preparing the final optimized geometry for additive metal manufacturing using Laser Powder Bed Fusion.

I led the joint design and manufacturing for a team project to create a compressive column compliant with SAMPE AMC rules. By utilizing CAD and running FEA, I successfully fabricated and tested the structure to fully optimize the joint component. Ultimately, the high performance of our design led to its selection by our professor to represent USC and compete at the SAMPE conference in April 2025.

I executed advanced vacuum infusion processes to fabricate lightweight carbon fiber body panels for the USC Formula Electric vehicle. This hands-on manufacturing role required attention to detail to ensure the composite layups infused perfectly, resulting in durable and aerodynamic components.

I conducted a comprehensive opportunity analysis to identify user needs and market gaps. Developed initial concepts through rapid sketching and rendering to explore visual direction. Built a low fidelity prototype, then a functional 1:6 scale medium fidelity prototype. Pitched the prototype and design process to a panel featuring an industry professional, course professor, and peers.​​

In this experimental project, I designed and manufactured a functioning bidirectional Miura Ori origami mechanism. By leveraging multimaterial FDM printing, I was able to successfully fabricate the intricate opening and closing structure, integrating rigid panels and flexible hinges into a functional prototype.
