Professional experience
Purdue University
Guide students from CAD/STL export through printer and material selection, slicing, orientation, support strategy, infill, and temperature settings in Bambu Studio and Ultimaker Cura. Set up new printers and perform calibration, preventive maintenance, and troubleshooting to keep lab equipment reliable.
Purdue University
Instructed a 19-student section in lathing, milling, CNC, metal, wood, and electronics projects. Applied ANSI/ASME Y14.5 GD&T to student drawings, reviewed CAD/BOM/assembly documentation, supported metrology and lab checkouts, and coached students from design intent to manufacturable parts.
Purdue University
Investigated orientation-dependent behavior in additively manufactured polymers under Dr. Luz Sotelo. Fabricated 60+ dogbones and 24 disks across six thermoplastics and two build orientations, then combined ASTM D638 tensile testing, ultrasonic NDE, and MATLAB analysis to quantify anisotropy and mechanical response.
Purdue University
Worked under Dr. Partha Mukherjee on Li-ion battery-performance analytics. Developed a Python/customtkinter application that ingests, analyzes, and visualizes 1,000+ user-uploaded datapoints and built reusable workflows for battery comparison, plotting, and research documentation.
Purdue University
Mentored 25–30 Thermodynamics I students and instructed 50+ ENGR 131 students in Excel/Python engineering workflows, calculations, and team projects.
