Design Team Projects

Mechanical Designer for UW Formula Electric - Driveline subteam

As a mechanical designer for UWFE, I have designed, prototyped, and machined numerous components, such as powertrain jigs, to ensure accurate drivetrain assembly and alignment. I have worked on integrating elecromechanical components, mountings and housings, and have machined parts I have designed. I continue to be an active member of the design team, and in conjuction with other sub-teams as well.

Core Member of UW Solar Race Car:

Composite molding refers to a manufacturing process that involves combining two or more different materials to create a single, unified structure. 

I had the opportunity to be apart of a 10 hour composite molding workshop, as a part of being on the Midnight Sun design team. This composite was done using Kevlar, which is more flexible than carbon fiber, making it suitable for applications where flexibility is important. In this workshop, the team was making the nose of the car, which requires more flexible material in the case of a collision. 

This workshop was a really cool experience and allowed me to understand the manufacturing process of small-scale composite molding projects.
