EXTRA CURRICULARS

Developed new pedal tray design and assembly process to reduce fabrication time by 80% to optimize the lack of workshop time due to COVID-19 lockdowns
Experimented with various brake rotor materials and surface coatings to further reduce weight and maximize heat dissipation efficiency
Led meetings with new recruits and taught them fundamentals on how the brake system works

Designed 10+ iterations of the new wheel centre to reduce the overall mass by 31% (0.78 pounds to 0.54 pounds)
Failure criteria for all realistic suspension loading cases fulfill the design requirement for a factor of safety of 1.75
Torsional stiffness of structural suspension components was increased by 27% in comparison to previous iterations
Developed and simulated accumulator housing mounts
Generated data to create interchangeable shims and tie rods to alter the Ackerman percentage
