Summary
I am a Mechanical Engineering graduate student and a competitive cyclist eager to apply my expertise in mechanical design, structural optimization, and system-level engineering to bicycle development. My graduate research in small satellite engineering has sharpened my ability to bridge simulation with real-world performance—a critically applicable skill for the optimization of bicycle aerodynamics, frame stiffness, and material behavior against real-world riding conditions. Additionally, my work in constraint-based shape optimization has deepened my understanding of structural efficiency under strict design constraints, directly applicable to bicycle frame geometry refinement. With hands-on experience in leading engineering projects, coordinating teams, and managing iterative development cycles, I am excited to contribute my technical expertise and project leadership to Specialized in advancing high-performance bicycle design.
