Work History
Granular Fluid Research
University of Waterloo
01.2025 - Current
- Conducted experiments to study granular fluid flow under microgravity (0G) and standard gravity (1G) conditions.
- Developed OpenCV-based algorithms for granular particle tracking and flow visualization, with 90% accuracy.
- Created data-driven presentations and reports using MS PowerPoint and Excel to communicate research findings.
Electromechanical Integration Co-op
ORBITAL
05.2025 - 08.2025
- Designed an antenna positioning PCB and CAD design for the ground station, achieving satellite tracking accuracy within 1° for both azimuth and elevation.
- Constructed and deployed a Yagi-Uda antenna, enabling reliable signal transmission and reception with our CubeSat in low Earth orbit (LEO).
- Assembled, tested, and debugged 5+ PCBs using multi-channel power supplies, digital multimeters, LT-Spice, and oscilloscopes; identified and re-soldered shorted components to ensure optimal performance.
- Organized and standardized the company’s Altium component library to improve consistency and streamline PCB component selection.
