Bioprocessing Laser Welding Project

• Researched laser welding feasibility for bioprocessing polymers (PC, PET, PETG), including material properties and weldability.

• Developed a comparative “Design Feature Playbook” outlining joint geometries, fixturing, and absorber strategies.

• Identified and documented optimal connector and vessel geometries to maximize weld quality and manufacturability.

• Designed a versatile laser welding jig adaptable to multiple connector barb geometries, enabling consistent weld quality while integrating data collection for process optimization.

• Ran Ansys simulations to ensure high quality welds in a variety of set ups.

Designed and developed an ergonomic dashboard and wheel for a club project, focusing on user comfort, accessibility, and customization.

Created and revised detailed engineering drawings using AutoCAD and SolidWorks for various automotive projects.

Gained experience with SolidWorks 3D modeling and performed Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to optimize component designs.

Designed and implemented key automotive components including:

Floor closeout and ergonomic harness placement to enhance vehicle safety and user comfort.

Egress systems ensuring compliant exit pathways and headrest design for optimal support.

Collaborated with cross-functional teams to ensure designs met both structural and safety standards.

Manufactured precision metal parts using waterjet cutting, welding, and carbon fiber layup techniques.

Taught cohort of incoming engineering students prototyping skills, CAD, and circuits.

Designed, modeled, and tested an emergency sustainable oil cleanup system under tight deadlines, ensuring efficient and environmentally-friendly solutions through rigorous evaluation and optimization.

Protoyed and tested in real life conditions to ensure quality and sustainability
