Work Experience
Mechanical Engineer - Graduate Researcher
University of Waterloo x Canun International Inc.
- Designed and detailed 25+ component SolidWorks assemblies reverse-engineered from 1970s hand drawings, generating fully dimensioned manufacturing drawings with functional GD&T (±0.2-0.3mm tolerances) for simulation, vibration analysis.
- Applied tolerance stack-up analysis across 12+ mating components to resolve interference issues, improving assembly fit by 18% during digital prototype builds.
- Independently conducted on-site vibration measurements on live Jackleg hammer drill equipment at Canun International’s facility, designing and fabricating custom triaxial sensor mounts to enable multi-axis measurement on curved surfaces.
- Evaluated load paths and vibration amplitudes to select materials compatible with heat-treated components and fastening methods to mitigate loosening and fatigue under dynamic (cyclic) loading conditions.
Projects
Jackleg Hammer Drill - Vibration Analysis & Redesign
- Built multi-domain simulation models in SimulationX and MATLAB/Simulink, correlating outputs with experimental FFT/FRF technical data package to identify resonance as the likely driver of handle vibration amplification.
- Executed 4 design iterations incorporating fabrication constraints and experimental test data, achieving a 7.8% reduction in vibration transmission in the targeted 20-180Hz frequency band.
- Performed frequency domain analysis on the triaxial experimental data, identifying phase-dependent vibration peaks and harmonic patterns across assemblies, confirming non-linear transmission influenced by pneumatic pressure and drilling phase.
Sit-to-Stand Biomechanical Simulation
- Developed a multibody dynamic model in MATLAB/Simulink & OpenSim to analyze joint loading & muscle force distribution during sit-to-stand transitions, isolating the iliopsoas as the primary load-bearing contributor for post-hip replacement rehabilitation applications.
- Modeled dominant musculoskeletal contributors to evaluate mechanical loading patterns and validate motion performance under varying load conditions, assessing design feasibility at a system level.
Design and Development of a Smart Wheelchair
- Designed and built a functional assistive wheelchair prototype operable entirely using head tilt & eye-blink inputs, eliminating hand operation for paraplegics- built as a helmet-mounted electromechanical unit, leading integration for a team of 4.
- Integrated accelerometers and eye-blink sensors with Arduino-based filtering logic, programming duration thresholds and minimum tilt angle limits to prevent accidental activation; fitted servo motors for drive and speed control.
