I am currently a research assistant for the University of Michigan Electric Vehicle Center through the Engineering Student Teams Resource Hub. In my role I am focused on:

 

  • Leading a small team to create FabNav, an intelligent AI assistant students can use to ask any question related to machine usage, process recommendations, safety, and logistics at UofM's maker spaces.

Renesas Electronics

Field Applications Engineering Intern

The summer after my junior year of college I did an internship at Renesas Electronics. Here my primary project was to design and develop an embedded system to sense an environment and control a rotary fan.
 

Some of the subtasks of this project included:

​

  • Use I2C master low level functions to communicate with a proprietary environmental sensor

  • Transmit data wirelessly using Bluetooth Low Energy

  • Designing a digital control circuit for a brushless DC fan

  • Developing an asynchronous state machine with voltage protection to sequence buck regulators using GreenPAK

  • Documenting my project to support future engineers

​The summer after my sophomore year of college I did an internship at JLG Industries. Here my main tasks were:​

​

  • Replacing analog load stability sensor with new J1939 CAN sensor. This project ultimately:

    • Cut wiring, prioritized messaging, and centralized diagnostics

    • Reduced production cost by $54 and assembly time by 1 hour per telehandler

  • Designing ASOV wiring harness for T508 telehandler to provide shutdown protection for diesel engine

  • Creating systems requirements document for T420 telehandler to accelerate testing and debugging procedures

The summer after my freshman year of college I was one of 20 students who created Aevum: a solar-powered electric vehicle built from scratch and driven 3,000 miles from Princeton, New Jersey to Los Angeles, California

​​

In my role as an array and electrical engineer I had the following responsibilities:

​

  • Streamlining the process of testing MPPT power converters

  • Helping build, encapsulate, and install the solar array to generate power for the solar car

  • Integrating ECUs onto CAN database to monitor signals and accelerate system debugging
