  • Chief Technology Officer
  • Responsibilities
  • Design stage completion while heading a team of 10 senior mechanical engineering undergraduates and 20 junior mechanical engineering undergraduates.
  • Chief Engineer Vehicle Dynamics
  • Responsibilities
  • Developed mathematical models for vehicle dynamics using Python, MATLAB and Simulink in order to predict vehicle behavior during quasi-static maneuvering.
  • Chief Engineer Suspension System
  • Responsibilities
  • Development of suspension kinematic and force analysis model using Excel in order to find the forces acting on each suspension member during movement.
  • Modelled Suspension System using SOLIDWORKS, followed by Ansys software static structural analysis (stress, fatigue and topology optimization) in order to validate chosen tubes and rockers endurance during operation.
  • Tire model development using Pacekja magic formula and non dimensionalized tire data in order to predict tire behaviour during vehicle maneuvering.
  • Wheel hub optimizations were carried out using ANSYS stress analysis and topology optimization.
  • More details about each task can be found in the portfolio project section.
