Work History

Assistant Researcher

05.2024 - 09.2024
  • Explored computational simulations of particle interactions, specifically using Dissipative Particle Dynamics (DPD) to model complex systems like polymer chains and blood clot mechanics
  • Employed simulation codes in LAMMPS to model particle interactions, focusing on parameters like temperature, friction, and potential well depth; Analyzed and manipulated simulation data through MATLAB
  • Explored different styles of particle interactions, including bond types (harmonic vs. FENE) and particle behavior like bond stretching and contraction

Researcher

05.2023 - 09.2023
  • Focused on using stepped catheters for intracranial injections to address the issue of drug reflux
  • Conducted experimental simulation with Finite Element Analysis (FEA), aiming to predict the flow direction of drug reflux
  • Took charge of generating mesh in FEA and creating 3D models using Gmesh; Dealt with data through MATLAB
  • Performed data filling and drug reflux flow direction simulation tests using FEBio software

Project Lead

03.2024 - 05.2024
  • Designed a sensory device to help individuals with ADHD and autism; Evolved the idea from Rubik’s Cube
  • Utilized 3D printing techniques to print prototypes with multiple fidget components, including buttons, joysticks, gears, and textured surfaces; Conducted tolerance tests to refine the print-in-place elements for smooth movement
  • Enhanced the usage of DfAM to create complex internal geometries; Achieved integration of parts by adding magnets
  • Added unique features that allow users to swap components to create different personal configurations

Researcher

01.2024 - 02.2024
  • Researched the evolution of composite materials in mechanical engineering, with a focus on trends post-2014
  • Conducted a systematic search using the Lafayette College library’s database for papers focused on composites; Investigated the technical terms related to composites and their reflection on the current research
  • Applied AntConc, a linguistic analysis tool used to identify and analyze the frequency of specific technical terms in research papers; Utilized the “AWL” (Academic Word List) and “GSL” (General Service List) to filter and comb the terms
  • Highlighted sustainability, recycling, and advanced materials like zirconia and alumina, showing that mechanical engineering is moving toward greener solutions that improve material performance and address environmental concerns

Project Lead

03.2023 - 05.2023
  • Applied CAD techniques to analyze, design, manufacture, and evaluate a prototype electric-powered vehicle
