Work History
Graduate Research Assistant
Center for Power Electronic Systems
Arlington, VA
07.2024 - 12.2025
- Modeled DC/DC converter performance using LTspice, ANSYS Electronics Desktop, and ANSYS Mechanical to evaluate electrical behavior, thermal response, and packaging-level constraints for power delivery hardware.
- Analyzed 6+ simulation datasets in MATLAB to compare converter response across operating conditions, identify performance trends, and summarize engineering conclusions for technical review.
- Reviewed 30+ power electronics, packaging, and semiconductor reliability references to validate modeling assumptions and support circuit, thermal, and packaging tradeoff analysis.
Haptic Engineering Intern
