My Portrait

I'm a Junior at the University of Pennsylvania pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Engineering (BSE) in Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics and minoring in Computer Science and Mathematics. I'm currently applying for the Robotics Accelerated Master’s graduate program at GRASP Laboratory.

I'm the co-founder of the suspension subteam for Penn Electric Racing, an award-winning Formula SAE Electric team. My current work involves using a combination of Solidworks, ANSYS, and Python to design suspension components, develop dynamic suspension models, and perform load analysis. Previously, I was a member of the firewall subteam and designed and manufactured the front firewall for the team's 7th generation car, REV6. I'm also a member of Dr. Jennifer Luke's research group and am investigating smart thermal materials, thermal switches, and thermal diodes.

In my leisure time, I enjoy trying new Chinese, Japanese, and Korean recipes. My favorite simple dishes to cook are Gyeran Jjim, Soondubu, and Pork Shogayaki. I also enjoy building mechanical keyboards. My current daily driver is a Jelly Epoch with Boba U4Ts for the alphas and Cherry MX Black Hyperglides for the modifiers.

I am currently interested in opportunities in Vehicle Engineering, Vehicle Dynamics, Robotics, and Hardware Development.
