Career Goals
Complete my B.S. in Electrical Engineering​
​
By the time I finish my undergraduate education at Georgia Tech, I will have built a strong foundation in electrical engineering, with emphasis on signal processing, robotics and autonomous systems, and AI integration. Not only will I maintain high academic performance, but I will also involve myself in clubs and projects outside of class to broaden my technical knowledge. Some classes that I hope to take are ECE 3251 Optimization for Intelligent Systems and ECE 4570 System Theory for Communication and Control.
​
Projects and Research
​
I like to involve myself in a combination of large and small projects, as they improve my collaborative and independent researching skills. In particular, I hope to stay on the Flow Dynamics of Soft Robotic Swimmers VIP Research Team, working with Stanford's Zhao Lab to fabricate and perform CFDs on soft robots. I also look forward to involving myself on mechatronic projects in Nejafi's Lab over the summer. ​
​
Network and Internships
​
In addition to going to GT-held events like Careers and networking opportunities, I will utilize my connections in VIP and HyTech Racing to build professional relationships and find connections with leaders in the EV and robotics industry. My goal is to form a good network with my peers and mentors in order to one day create my own start-up. My involvement in Startup Exchange or Create-X will support these goals. ​
​
Pursue Graduate School​​
​
After undergrad, I will pursue graduate school with research programs and opportunities dedicated towards robotics and innovative technologies. I will apply to recognized graduate schools like MIT, Stanford, UC Berkeley, and the GT. While I would prefer to do graduate school elsewhere, I will also consider the BS/MS program at GT. With this in mind, I will do my best to prepare this application by working on related projects, research, and internships.
Project Goals
Soft Robotic Jellyfish
Using a Dielectric Elastomer, create a tethered soft jellyfish capable of being maneuvered and used for quality-measurements in aquatic environments.
CAN Test Board
Using PCB design on Altium and growing firmware knowledge with PlatformIO, be able to test the maximum latency of a CAN network with modular component attachment and writability.
RC Tweezer Arms
Using combination of SolidWorks, manufacturing, PCB design, and optimized PID control, design and build millimeter scale arms for SMD PCB assembly; inspired by DaVinci Robot from Intuitive
