energy clients.
1/95 - 12/95: University of California at Berkeley, PATH Project
Graduate Research Assistant: The goal of the
Partners for Advanced Transit and Highways Project is to increase the
capacity of the most frequented highways and to decrease traffic congestion, air
polution, accident rates and fuel consumption.
* Characterized sonar and radar distance sensing devices under
sub-optimal operating conditions. This included actual testing and
establishment of system failure modes through the introduction of
conditions which may be found in system application.
* Integrating analysis and fusion of sensor data to improve the
performance of automatic vehicle control.
10/93 - 6/94: University of Washington, Formula SAE Project
Society of Automotive Engineers sponsored FSAE is an intercollegiate
competition sponsored by the Society of Automotive Engineers. The goal
is to design and build a formula racing car for an amateur racer with a
production price below $8000. Formula SAE involves complete product development
from initial concepts to an intercollegiate design and performance competition.
The project develops team structure and organization with an emphasis on
goal achievement, communication, and time management on both a technical and
administrative level.
* Vehicle Testing and Driver Training Coordinator. Structured and supervised a comprehensive testing program which involved the development of the team for the performance related aspects of the competition.
* Suspension group leader. Synthesized group design efforts and
acted as a liaison with other vehicle component groups to ensure product
compatibility and open communication.
6/93 - 10/93: University of Washington, Mechanical Engineering Undergraduate
Research Program.
Undergraduate Research Assistant: The project involved the machine design
of components and a four-bar linkage system for pressure and temperature control
during the gas saturation stage of the microcellular foam creation
process.
* Assisted with material selection, layout and construction of pressure
and temperature control units built for research in the Cellular Composites
Consortium Laboratory.
* Familiarization with graduate level research and its relationship
with industry.
Summer 1992: University of California at Berkeley, Summer
Undergraduate Program for Engineering Research.
Undergraduate Research Assistant: The project involved performance
evaluation of protective gear for competitive Taekwondo.
