Developed six iterations of a G2-continuous Class-A aeroshell for Cornell Electric Vehicles’ Shell Eco-Marathon Urban Concept vehicle using Autodesk Alias. Design changes were guided by aerodynamic simulation results, including pressure distribution, drag, and lift, along with zebra-stripe analysis…

Designed and executed a three-point bending test program to evaluate carbon-fiber sandwich structures for a lightweight vehicle chassis. Six laminate configurations were tested with five specimens per configuration while varying core material, ply count, fiber orientation, and layup. Stiffness,…

Developed ANSYS ACP and Mechanical transient models to evaluate carbon-fiber sandwich baseplate designs under realistic vehicle load cases. Multiple laminate and core configurations were compared using stress, deformation, safety factor, and weight to identify lightweight structures capable of…

Designed a lightweight carbon-fiber and aluminum suspension support bar that runs beneath the vehicle baseplate and extends upward at the wheel wells to support the wishbones and shock, transferring suspension loads into the carbon-fiber baseplate. The design satisfies steering geometry, packaging,…
