Dynamic and result-oriented 3rd year mechanical engineering student with a passion for design and development in the field of mechanical and mechatronics engineering. Excited to bring enthusiasm and fresh ideas to ExxonMobil while learning from industry professionals. Proficient in Ansys, robotics, mechanical vibrations, SolidWorks (CAD), CAMotics, and currently building a strong academic background in core mechanical engineering. Gained hands-on experience through multiple dynamic projects at the university, both locally and globally. With a combination of theoretical knowledge and practical skills, fully poised to make meaningful contributions and gain valuable real-world experience.

Global Project Based Learning in Tokyo, Japan

A 2-week study tour conducted in Shibaura Institute of Technology, Japan between 30 June 2024 - 14 July 2024

Key responsibilities

• Collaborated with Japanese students at a partner university to propose an innovative yet affordable product in which technology and manufacturing methods could be applied
• Visited Japanese manufacturing companies LPS works and Climb works to study common manufacturing methods such as laser micro-machining, injection molding, 5-D laser cutting and die cutting that significantly contributed to my project’s findings
• Participated in cultural exchange events including visiting festivals, historical and cultural sites which deepened my cultural understanding and strengthened my interpersonal skills.

Outcomes

• Created a proposal on developing Nano clean contact lens which aimed to eliminate eye discomfort for wearer
• Used “SolidWorks” to successfully develop a prototype of the contact lens which increased oxygen permeability to Cornea by 28% through laser micro-machining nanometre wide holes which were also able to block tear drops, light dispersion, bacteria and UV rays
• Demonstrated ability to work effectively in international and multicultural environments
• Received praise for the research project by SIT professors and was awarded ‘Best Presenter’ as well as ‘Certificate of Completion’

External Forced Convection Group Presentation

For the subject: heat transfer, in year 3 semester 1

Achieved a grade of 98/100 for this Project

Key responsibilities

• Researched laminar and turbulent fluid flow over flat plates and cylinders.
• Used Ansys fluent to extract velocity and temperature profiles for different types of laminar and turbulent fluid flow over a flat plate.
• Used Ansys fluent to analyse flow separation, stagnation point and wake region for different Reynold’s numbers and then compare them.
• Explored vortex shedding phenomenon occurring in bluff bodies and its real-life applications in aerofoils.
• Collaborated in a group of 5 to demonstrate key findings in a 15-minute video presentation.

Outcome

• Successfully achieved CFD simulation results that effectively visualised different element of heat transfer and forced convection as well as demonstrated its real-world applications.

Pumped Hydro Energy System Storage Group Project

For the subject: Thermal Fluids, in year 3 semester 1

Achieved grade of 19/25 for the Project

Key responsibilities

• Performed a feasibility study of developing a pumped hydro system for energy storage in a small remote island with residents.
• Developed a design of the Solar PV coupled with a pumped hydro storage power supply system.
• Used excel to calculate various parameters of Francis turbines and pump impellers.
• Collaborated in a team of 3 to present a detailed report of the design.

Outcome

• Successfully designed a pumped hydro system with a pump capacity 6.37% greater than storage volume which enhanced Pump Hydro System’s ability to store energy during periods of excess energy generation.
