RELATED EXPERIENCE
• MECHANICAL DESIGN ANALYST, TRAINING PERIOD
AZTech Technologies LLC, April 15 – Present
? Being trained for the design analyst position, which involves the design of a product from concept to final stage, participating in the initial mechanical modeling and creation of production drawings
? Training will also involve review of designs and calculations, performing statistical analysis and interfacing with machine shop and production teams as to achieve overall production goals
• GRADUATE RESEARCHER, ROBOTICS AND CONTROLS LABORATORY
University of Delaware, Jan 2017 - Sep 2018
? Collaborated with the laboratory team to establish a system of optimizing and computing dynamics and gait primitives on a model of the HUBO robot
? Computed dynamic walking gaits for the NAO and HUBO robots utilizing both a sagittal plane and a 3-dimensional MATLAB model of the same
? Integrated the MATLAB model functions into a gazebo model of the NAO robot
• GRADUATE TEACHING ASSISTANT, MACHINE DESIGN
University of Delaware, Aug 2017 – Jan 2018
? Led 160 undergraduate students and developed lesson plans, assignments, and exams and framed and graded assignments to factor grades
? Organized and presented on multiple topics in weekly discussion lectures. Designed and led discussion groups weekly to review assignments and ensure student understanding of course work
? Reviewed student progress and addressed areas in need of improvement. Communicated with the professor and other Teaching Assistants to ensure optimal student success
? Weekly tasks included summarizing weekly coursework during weekly discussion lecture and provide students with practice problems to develop a solid understanding of the coursework
• UNDERGRADUATE RESEARCHER
Anna University, Jan 2016 – May 2016
? Spearheaded project on design and fabrication of an automated industrial trolley. Collaborated with talented team of three engineers to design, fabricate and model a prototype utilizing expert skills in SolidWorks
? Designed the control scheme and fabricated a model that minimized shop floor time by assisting in material transportation, tool swapping, and additional time and energy consuming chores
• TIRE MODELLING INTERN
Fraunhofer ITWM, Kaiserslautern, Germany, May 2015 – Jul 2015
? Performed mathematical estimation and modeling of tire design that allowed researchers to fully set up a functioning modeling and analysis software
? Collaborated with research team to review, recognize and solve design and computational issues in tire modeling processes to ameliorate the extant version of the tire modeling software
