Work History

Assistant Mechanical Engineer

Emphasis Enterpriese Ltd, Curtiss Wright Nuclear Division
Vancouver, British Columbia
09.2024 - 12.2024
  • Designed and tested suction cups for a wall-adhering drone, leveraging SolidWorks for 3D modeling and Ansys for CFD simulations to optimize adhesion performance.
  • Analyzed airflow dynamics using Bernoulli's principle and negative pressure effects to enhance suction efficiency across different designs.
  • Conducted adhesion force measurements with custom-built testing platforms, integrating S-type load cells and MATLAB for precise data analysis.
  • Developed optimization strategies by comparing Ansys simulation results with theoretical models, achieving an 8-time improvement in suction force for flat suction cups.
