Project1 Title: Autonomous/RC Vehicle Design, Assembly & Testing (Group Project)

• Co-designed and manufactured a functional scale vehicle from scratch in a team of 6 students, ensuring full integration of mechanical and electronic components.
• Led mechanical design and structural analysis of the collision-protection system (bumper/crumple zone) in SolidWorks to maximize impact absorption and protect internal sensors.
• Optimized component geometry for Additive Manufacturing (3D Printing), troubleshooting print tolerances and material selection (PLA/PETG) to ensure efficient rapid prototyping.
• Conducted physical crash testing and data alignment, verifying that the protective structure successfully reduced deceleration forces on critical components by 46% during impacts.

Project2 Title: Sustainable & Eco-Friendly Micro-Mobility Vehicle Design (Group Project)

• Collaborated in a multidisciplinary team to develop an innovative, foldable commuter bicycle utilizing bamboo as a sustainable alternative to conventional metallic frames.
• Headed the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of the bamboo structural frame, utilizing Edupack to quantify carbon footprint and environmental impacts from raw material sourcing to end-of-life disposal.
• Analyzed mechanical properties of bamboo joints and bonding agents, ensuring the structural integrity and load-bearing capacity met simulated urban riding conditions.
• Presented a comprehensive sustainability report evaluating a 76% reduction in embodied carbon compared to aluminum frames, supporting the feasibility of eco-conscious mass transit solutions.

• Model Making and Processing
