What I worked on

As part of the university Formula Student team, I contributed to suspension work — analysing the current geometry and supporting a redesign for the next car.

Key work

  • Used Ansys to evaluate stress and iterate geometry changes.
  • Balanced tradeoffs between stiffness, strength, weight, and manufacturability.
  • Worked across departments to keep interfaces and constraints aligned.
