Nice to meet you!
I am a second-year graduate student at Stanford University, currently pursuing an M.S. in Mechanical Engineering. My interests are centered around mechanical design, embedded systems, and robotics, with a focus on innovative, cost-effective solutions. I am excited to use my time at Stanford to expand both the breadth and depth of projects that I'll have the opportunity to work on.
During my first year at Stanford, I completed the ME218: Smart Product Design series which served as a deep-dive into robotics design, circuitry, and writing software for embedded systems (with a focus on PIC microcontrollers). My capstone projects for each quarter of the ME218 series are linked in the portfolio tab. This year, I will be serving as a ME218 TA.
I graduated Summa Cum Laude with my B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from UCLA in 2022, receiving the distinction of Most Outstanding B.S. for the UCLA Mechanical Engineering class of 2022. Through student organizations at UCLA, I gained extensive hands-on engineering experience and was involved in several projects during my undergraduate tenure. Additionally, I served as an undergraduate researcher in UCLA's Structures-Computer Interaction Laboratory for three years, conducting experiments and writing MATLAB simulations modeling the behavior of soft, multi-layer elastic shells.
I am passionate about teaching. At UCLA, I co-founded and served as an instructor for Engineering 96: Combat Robotics, a project-based course centered around building and fighting a 1-lb. combat robot. In my free time, I also volunteer as a coach for my high school Speech & Debate team.
The Portfolio tab outlines many of my engineering experience and professional endeavors. Please contact me with any questions or comments!
