Projects & Experience

Currently working in an industrial advanced development environment. Additional project details will be added as the work progresses.

• Supporting advanced development work in an industrial R&D setting.
• Gaining hands-on experience with technical workflows, engineering documentation, and experimental system development.
• More details will be added after project information can be shared publicly.

Led the end-to-end project planning and system design of a smart trash can concept integrating hardware, software, sensing, and user-centered product functionality.

• Developed the full project workflow from concept definition and requirement analysis to task planning, implementation strategy, and final presentation.
• Created a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) to decompose the smart trash can system into hardware, software, sensing, control, enclosure, testing, and integration tasks.
• Designed the product concept around a hardware-software integrated architecture, including sensing, actuation, user interaction, and data-driven functionality.
• Applied project management methods to define scope, schedule, deliverables, risk considerations, and team coordination logic.
• Studied Agile project management methods and completed both foundational and advanced Agile-related certificates.

Investigated the printability of hyperuniform force chain network structures fabricated by Laser Powder Bed Fusion (L-PBF) using a Concept Laser system.

• Printed complex architected network structures using metal L-PBF.
• Studied how feature size and overhang angle affect structural survivability.
• Evaluated print fidelity and fabrication limitations for highly complex geometries.
• Explored design-for-additive-manufacturing constraints in laser-based metal printing.

Designed and fabricated a functional remote-controlled speed boat through multiple design iterations and multi-process additive manufacturing.

• Iterated the hull geometry to improve structure and performance.
• Fabricated different components using material jetting, selective laser sintering, and stereolithography.
• Integrated an electric motor and stepper motor control system.
• Built a functional remote-controlled prototype.

Completed a hands-on CNC machining and hybrid fabrication project using aluminum alloy, laser cutting, and 3D printing.

• Machined an aluminum alloy block into the NCSU Wolfpack logo structure.
• Practiced CNC machining, 3D scanning, 3D printing, cutting, and surveying workflows.
• Combined subtractive and additive manufacturing processes into a finished physical artifact.

Worked in the production and quality inspection division for copper alloy tube manufacturing.

• Gained hands-on exposure to melting and casting, extrusion, rolling, and drawing workflows.
• Assisted with dimensional and mechanical inspections of copper alloy tubes.
• Supported quality evaluation and process consistency in large-scale metal forming.
