Introductions
Hello, I’m a Mechanical Engineering student graduating from Clemson University with a Master’s Thesis. I have dedicated my academic and professional life to studying and applying engineering principals to vehicle development. I hope to pursue a career in motorsports, automotive, or aerospace industries with a long term goal of engineering leadership. My interests and expertise align most with design, analysis (CAE tools), and research / development engineering disciplines. Please take a look through some of my past experiences and feel free to reach out with any questions!
Formula SAE Experience
This section highlights recent design projects during my time in Formula SAE. These hands-on projects help to demonstrate many of the leadership skills and engineering knowledge I gained through the Formula SAE experience.
Through FSAE, I was able to combine my passions for racing and vehicle development in an engaging, fast-paced environment. I hope to be able to apply the skills learned during my time in FSAE to a career in vehicle development professionally!
Research Experience
This section covers some of the research projects during my time in academia. These include, but are not limited to:
Undergraduate research at the Florida Center for Advanced Aero-Propulsion (FCAAP) conducting low-speed wind tunnel research.
Graduate research focusing on the design automotive structures working with vehicle design projects such as Deep Orange at Clemson University’s International Center for Automotive Research (CU-ICAR).
Interning with Esteco North America as a liaison between Clemson University and Esteco. Additionally leading a research project studying the application of optimization to the design of composite vehicle structures, for publication to the 2021 SAE WCX Digital Summit (SAE 2021-01-0363).
