MOTORCYCLE DYNAMICS
Instrumentation & traction control simulator
I undertook the development of a motorcycle traction control instrumentation project, with the aim of designing a platform that could take various inputs, including engine speed, rider weight, throttle input, lean angle, and motorcycle speed, to generate outputs such as engine speed, power, and torque. As a safety measure, I also integrated an ABS braking system into the design to ensure safe stopping in emergency situations. Through the successful execution of this project, I demonstrated proficiency in conceptualizing, designing, and implementing complex systems while adhering to safety standards.
PROJECT SPECTRE
Experimental rocket propulsion lab
I was instrumental in the development of the "SPECTRE" a model rocket project, which utilized active stabilization algorithms and canards to modify its trajectory. Using CAD, I designed the rocket, ran simulations to optimize its performance, and manufactured essential components. I also created a specialized module to house four servo motors and four canards, resulting in a maneuverable three-dimensional platform. My contributions and technical expertise were critical to the success of the Embry Riddle Rocketry Club (ERPL), where I was a key member.
NAUTILUS - THE ROBOSUB
Autonomous maritime robotics association
As a Designer for Mechanics and Structures with Team Unsinkable, I played a crucial role in the production of the "Nautilus" autonomous probe, which competed in several maritime robotics underwater challenges. I was responsible for manufacturing and testing underwater robots and submarines, ensuring their functionality and reliability. Additionally, I organized events on campus to promote the field of maritime robotics, which helped raise awareness and attract new members to the team.
