Projects & Reports

Explore a collection of my past projects showcasing a variety of skills and expertise. Each project includes a detailed description and main image, providing a glimpse into my creative work.

Unmanned Aerial System Hybrid Powertrain Testbed

Unmanned Aerial System Hybrid Powertrain Testbed

This award-winning senior design project (ASME 2nd Place) involved the design, construction, and testing of a modular testbench to characterize the thermal behavior of PCB stators and rotors for hybrid drone powertrains. The primary goal was to evaluate thermal performance to aid in the development of more efficient hybrid power systems for industrial drones, particularly those used for applications like powerline inspections.

Light-Activated Deadbolt

Light-Activated Deadbolt

This project designed a light-activated deadbolt for window security, automatically locking at night and unlocking during the day based on ambient light, with an LED indicator for lock status, addressing manual locking inconveniences and security risks.

Project Tortas: Flattened Duct for Engine Build-Up

Project Tortas: Flattened Duct for Engine Build-Up

This project, sponsored by Collins Aerospace, focused on investigating the feasibility of flattening existing circular engine build-up (EBU) ducts within turbojet engines to improve engine packaging and efficiency. The primary goal was to design a flattened duct profile that could be routed through tight aerodynamic spaces, thereby potentially increasing the engine's bypass ratio, while maintaining similar pressure drop characteristics to the original circular duct.

Starship Clock Pendulum

Starship Clock Pendulum

This project focuses on designing and fabricating a working clock with a focus on analyzing its timing accuracy.

Robotic Arm with Drive Train

Robotic Arm with Drive Train

This project involved teams of 3-4 students designing, building, and analyzing a robot for a class competition at UC San Diego.
