Formula SAE

Formula SAE has been my most extensive commitment to date. Having joined Columbia's Formula Racing team at the beginning of my first year of college, I have spent hundreds of hours designing mechanisms, manufacturing components, and assembling the systems on the vehicles. 

Below I have highlighted my most notable FSAE projects.

Vehicle Dynamics

Vehicle Dynamics systems include Suspension, Steering, Hubs & Uprights, and Anti-Roll Bars systems of the Formula SAE vehicle. During the 2023-2024 academic year, I led the design, development, integration and validation of these systems on the EV2024 vehicle.

You can read in more detail about these systems at the links below:

Other Systems

Outside Vehicle Dynamics systems, I had a chance to contribute to the design and development processes of various other systems on EV2021 through EV2025 vehicles.

Leadership & Administration

Having joined the team in September 2021, I have been a part of Columbia's Formula Racing team for the entirety of my college career. Out of these four years, I spent three of them in leadership positions:

  • In my sophomore year, I led the development of the Hubs & Uprights system, working on cross-integration of the suspension outboard points and brakes hardware into a new design for rear uprights; I also organized the outsourcing, manufacturing, and delivery logistics for the new uprights.

  • In my junior year, I led the development of Vehicle Dynamics systems, which meant that I managed the engineering efforts in Suspension, Hubs & Uprights, Brakes, and Steering systems. In this role I developed timelines, coordinated system integration, prioritized tasks, organized the weekly system-wide meetings and worksessions, and ensured successful completion of essential steps necessary to get the car running, often getting heavily involved in engineering efforts as well. Outside of my responsibilities as Dynamics Assistant Chief, I also initiated a much-needed design change in the Pedals subsystem and assisted the engineering efforts behind it.

  • Currently, I serve as a Mechanical Chief Engineer. In this position I manage the engineering of all of the mechanical systems of the car, structure timelines for the full vehicle's development cycle, and ensure successful system integration, rules compliance, and standardization across the entire vehicle.
