B.S. Mechanical Engineering

• Minor: Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences (EECS)
  Awards: Masason Foundation Scholar (Full-ride merit scholarship for top innovators)

Undergraduate Researcher

• - Developing a Master-Slave teleoperation system for the DexCo soft robotic hand, mapping human kinematics to hydraulic syringe actuators. - Wrote embedded C++ firmware for ESP32 to implement PID control loops, managing I2C communication for AS5600 magnetic encoders. - Built a custom Python (PyQt5) control dashboard to visualize real-time pressure/position telemetry and handle serial communication protocols. - Designed and wired the electrical interface between the microcontroller, custom PCBs, and PWM motor drivers.

Vehicle Dynamics Engineer

• - Engineered the rear Anti-Roll Bar (ARB) system using AISI 4130 steel, incorporating a 3-lever arm design for adjustable stiffness. - Conducted Finite Element Analysis (FEA) in Ansys to validate structural integrity under torsional loads, achieving a 1.4 Safety Factor. - Achieved a 36% mass reduction in the ARB assembly compared to the previous iteration through geometry optimization. - Designed the suspension rocker plate for a double-wishbone configuration, optimizing for buckling resistance.

Research Assistant

• - Developed a robotic manipulation system for extracting larvae from fluid-filled vials using a Dobot Nova arm. - Implemented stereo vision with dual Zelux cameras to triangulate position and track larval motion in real-time using DeepSORT. - Designed lightweight computer vision algorithms (background subtraction, Lucas-Kanade optical flow) for robust detection in fluid environments. - [View Code on GitHub](https://github.com/Ag3ntN/dobot-nova-control-goda-lab)

Mechanical Engineering Intern

• - Engineered a two-stage cascading elevator fork to maximize vertical reach in automated warehouse racks. - Designed and validated a motor testbed using ESP32 microcontrollers with CANBus communication for inertial wheel experiments. - Performed static structural FEA on the cargo lifter cage to ensure rigidity and safety under dynamic loading conditions.
