Used Altair Hypermesh to determine factor of safety, failure criterion, and displacement values from regulation crash cases. Validated and optimized the solar car's chassis composite layout according to these cases to reduce mass while maintaining safety. Prepped the chassis molds by blocking out the foam structure and sanding the final molds.
Mathematics Tutor
Feb 2025 – Jun 2025
Helped 2-3 children at a time work through pre-planned math worksheets and quizzes. Ages varied from pre-K children to seniors in high school, and topics varied from simple addition to pre-calculus. Learned how to work with children and explain sometimes unintuitive mathematical concepts with examples or physical props.
