About

I'm a junior in electrical engineering, graduating in 2028, and I lead the team's high- and low-voltage work.

On the next-generation battery pack I'm spearheading the fusible link design. I use Ansys to run thermal-electric simulations that find each fuse's characteristics, and I'll be testing the custom-designed fuses to build fusing curves for them. I'm also simulating heat generation across the whole pack, so we can engineer the best cooling solution for it.

I currently do most of the software design for the car. I wrote the dash program from scratch, and I'll be implementing much of the datalogging on the next car. On that next car I'm also moving further into hardware: designing PCBs and planning out the tractive system.

Outside of school and the team, I love working on my 3D printers and hiking the Adirondacks.
