About me
I've always loved the concept of building, creating things, and problem-solving since I was young and I'm very excited to take this journey into an Engineering career. I've had some volunteering experience with an NGO about climate awareness and hope for a career along that line. Here, you'll find some of my research projects in autonomous UAV controls, battery degradation for electric aircrafts and digital shadows/twins.
Alongisde previous works with software like Creo, ANSYS, and a few Mechatronics projects with Arduino IDE.
Research Projects
Multi-domain modeling of an electric aircraft
August 2022 - Present
MATLAB-Simscape modeling of an electric aircraft for battery optimized routing. The aircraft is modeled after a 6-seater Cessna206 Stationair aircraft. Comparing the effect of different State of Charge ranges and charging rates of the degradation of the battery pack. This helps to identify and maximise battery uasge for different aircraft and battery specifications. This tested of different flight routes across Southestern USA.
Autonomous UAV Sensor Deployment
August 2024 - Present
Calibrated and optimized UAV control systems to ensure stable flight and precise docking during sensor deployment. Designing and implementing a deep learning-based end-to-end control system, enabling UAVs to autonomously navigate docking stations.
Modeling and Experimental Analysis of Catalyzed Hydrogen Peroxide Reaction for Soft Robotic Actuators
June- November 2024
Studied the use of hydrogen peroxide as a monopropellant for soft robotics in a reactor system. Conducted experiments to study the trends between catalyst size, gas pressurization rates, and fuel volume. Redesigned prototypes of the reactor to test experiments minimize leakage for accurate results enabling a more complete reaction. Developed a MATLAB-based predictive model to characterize and optimize the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide in propellant-based actuators for untethered soft robotics, focusing on critical parameters such as chamber geometry, catalyst size, reaction rate, temperature, and pressure.
Course-Based Projects
CREO 7.0
Machine Pipe Intersection
CAM
BENCH VICE
This was a project done with a team of other Engineering students. This bench vice consisted of four major components; the Moving Jaw, the Stationary Jaw, the Screw and the Handle .
ASSEMBLY AND ANALYSIS
The vice was simulated with an iron-grey alloy. For the Stress Analysis, the base of the Stationary Jaw was constrained with a 200 ton load applied to the vice.
ARDUINO IDE
ALARM CLOCK PROJECT
This project is a representation of an alarm clock. It has a timer set to a minute with periodic LEDs as the time approaches 1 minute. Once all the LEDs are on and 1 minute is over an alarm sounds, which is the piezo(buzzer). The LEDs must all remain on after the 1-minute timer and the alarm sounds continuously for every three-second delay. The entire circuit is reset and turned on by a switch.
CAR-LIKE PROJECT
This project was created was created to simulate some features of a car like steering, forward and backward motion, and the turning signals. Some criteria of the 'car' include:
-
a DC motor for forward and backward motion
-
a servo motor representing the steering/turning of the vehicle.
-
a potentiometer serving as the steering wheel of the car.
-
LEDs as the turning signals of the car
-
Buttons to serve as an emergency stop and a change in the direction of the DC motor.
