About me!

Education

Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering
Minor in Digital Engineering
University of Calgary
September 2019 - December 2024
GPA: 3.6 - Dean's List

I am a fifth-year mechanical engineering student with a strong passion for mechanical design and sustainability. I have experience in mechanical design using CAD software such as SolidWorks, Revit, and AutoCAD, as well as expertise in dynamic and kinematic modeling and kinetic analysis using Simulink and MATLAB. My minor in digital engineering has also equipped me with skills in Python and the application of AI and machine learning. With a solid background in HVAC and facility design, I am seeking new graduate positions where I can grow and embrace new opportunities.

Outside of my classes and work, you’ll likely find me watching or playing sports! I love traveling, spending time with family and friends, and trying new foods. I also enjoy exploring new hobbies; recently, I got into making sourdough bread, and my latest creation is jalapeño cheddar flavor!

Modular Lab Scale Wind Turbine Prototype
Mechanical Engineering Capstone

September 2023 - April 2024

Affiliate: Laboratory for Turbulence in Aerodynamics and Flow Control, University of Calgary

Skills: Project Managment, Stress Analysis, SolidWorks, 3D Printing, Rapid Prototyping

This project focuses on the development of a versatile lab-scale wind turbine prototype to advance research in unsteady wind-turbine aerodynamics within the LTRAC (Laboratory for Turbulence Research in Aerodynamics and Combustion) laboratory. The primary objective is to enable the investigation of sectional blade forces and their intricate relationship with local flow dynamics. To achieve this, the project encompasses various key components.

The design scope includes creating a modular blade system that allows easy assembly and disassembly for testing custom 3D-printed blade designs while maintaining precision and accuracy of force measurements. An advanced wireless sensor array and telemetry system will be integrated to facilitate accurate time-resolved force data acquisition. The mechanical design of the entire rotor assembly, including the nacelle, shaft, bearings, blade mounting hardware, nose cone, and rotor braking hardware, will be developed to ensure a fully operational and balanced wind turbine prototype. A rotor-speed control algorithm will be developed and fine-tuned for precise adjustments. Additionally, a user-friendly MATLAB-based interface for data acquisition will be created to simplify the data collection process. Rigorous experimental validation will be conducted to verify the accuracy and repeatability of the force-measurement system.

This research-oriented project holds substantial value as it establishes a critical foundation for future studies in unsteady wind-turbine aerodynamics within the LTRAC laboratory. The resulting experimental platform is expected to support the work of numerous future graduate students. By enabling precise investigations into sectional blade forces and their correlation with local airflow dynamics, this project has the potential to significantly enhance our understanding of wind-turbine performance. Ultimately, the knowledge generated could contribute to advancements in sustainable energy solutions and the optimization of wind turbine design.
