About me
I am an aspiring engineer with a passion for turning complex challenges into innovative solutions. I am currently pursuing the M.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering at UC San Diego, where I honed my skills in robotics, mechanical design, and control.
I focus on developing innovative solutions for robotic applications
With a strong foundation in mechanical engineering and robotics, I’ve been fortunate to gain hands-on experience across various areas, from designing mechanical systems to programming robotics and developing control algorithms. My projects have ranged from simple designs to more complex robotic systems, each one offering new challenges and opportunities for growth. I’m always eager to learn and refine my skills, driven by a passion for tackling intricate problems and creating effective solutions.
Throughout my academic journey, I’ve had the chance to work on diverse projects, such as designing a wrist orthosis and programming a robotic arm for object manipulation. These experiences have not only deepened my understanding of engineering principles but also highlighted the importance of perseverance, teamwork, and continuous learning. I thrive on finding innovative solutions and am committed to evolving and improving in the field of robotics.
Areas of Focus
I’m continually developing my skills in various areas of engineering, and I approach each new challenge as an opportunity to learn and grow. Here are some of the areas where I’ve gained experience:
Robotics and Automation
My journey in robotics has been a continuous learning experience. I’ve had the opportunity to work on autonomous systems, where I focus on creating solutions that are practical and adaptable. While there’s always more to learn, I’m dedicated to refining my skills in this rapidly evolving field.
Mechanical Design
With a solid foundation in mechanical engineering, I approach design with a focus on functionality and efficiency. I’ve worked on projects that required careful consideration of performance and durability, and I’m always eager to explore new techniques to improve my designs.
Programming and Simulation:
I’m proficient in programming languages like Python, C++, and MATLAB, which I use to model, simulate, and refine designs. These tools have been invaluable in helping me visualize and test ideas, and I’m committed to continuing to develop my programming skills.
