As the team lead for the Impact Testing Tower project at the Multiscale Mechanics and Physics Lab (MMPL). I orchestrated a collaborative effort among 6 team members. Directing the design, I conducted meticulous force analyses using SolidWorks and Ansys. By fostering open communication and teamwork, I effectively coordinated with the machine shop, ensuring Y14.5 standards were met for precision part machining. This leadership role emphasized my ability to guide a team through complex engineering challenges, resulting in the successful integration of the impact testing tower.
