This project supports the Caltech Space Solar Power Project by developing a Kapton-based tensioning and thermal test stand for flexible thin-film photovoltaic cells. I designed a biaxial turnbuckle system to apply controlled pre-tension to Kapton film and I am in the process of evaluating multiple a...

This project investigates how meltwater moves through layered snowpack by modeling snow using two-layer glass bead porous media. I designed and ran quasi-2D flow cell experiments to study how hydraulic and capillary barriers influence preferential flow “fingers,” infiltration velocities, and ponding...

Our team designed and built three fully functional ME72 competition robots capable of drivetrain mobility, puck handling, and integrated shooter mechanisms. My role spanned machining, CAD updates, drivetrain assembly, shooter prototyping, and controller programming. Throughout the project, I contrib...

In this project, we investigated the flow behavior around a NACA 0012 airfoil using both experimental PIV measurements in a closed-loop water tunnel and numerical CFD simulations in ANSYS Fluent. We analyzed velocity fields, stagnation points, wake formation, and boundary layer development for multi...

This project uses finite element analysis (FEA) in ANSYS to study tensile loading behavior in 6061-T6 aluminum specimens. Both 2D and 3D dog-bone geometries were analyzed with refined meshing to capture stress concentration and deformation accurately. Simulations identified maximum displacement, rup...

This project explores how AI-generated virtual control groups can reduce the cost, duration, and failure rate of Phase III clinical trials. By leveraging multimodal patient data, generative models, and historical clinical trial datasets, our approach simulates individualized control trajectories tha...
