Project 1: Mechanical Setup and Testing • Designed and optimized 3D CAD models for mechanical assemblies using Autodesk Inventor. • Successfully completed over 3 detailed engineering drawings, ensuring 100% compliance with GD&T standards. • Developed mechanical prototypes for AI-based object detection systems, enhancing system assembly and testing workflows. • Conducted testing and optimization of lighting systems for infrared-based spectrometers, improving material characterization accuracy.

• Collaborated with cross-functional teams to resolve over 90% of design-related challenges in nanofabrication projects. • Streamlined experimental workflows, reducing testing errors by 15% through the optimization of testing protocols. • Conducted testing and characterization of components using advanced equipment: SEM, laser scanning microscopes, and digital holographic microscopy.

• Designed micro-lenses in Autodesk Inventor; validated fabrication precision with advanced microscopy techniques (optical, SEM, and 3D laser scanning). • Pioneered a novel process for fabricating micro-lenses using IP-PDMS photoresist, achieving a dimensional accuracy improvement of 25%. • Characterised fabricated micro-lenses, ensuring precise shape fidelity to the original design specifications. • Achieved optimised fabrication of micro-lenses with the innovative IP-PDMS photoresist.

• Designed and optimized the transfer of forces in the 2D NED micro-positioning system, resolving 90% of design-related technical challenges. • Assessed mechanical stress in single-crystalline silicon torsional springs of the μ-mirror chip, identifying and reducing maximum principal stress failures by 15% through breakage testing. • Assembled and tested a demonstrator achieving a μ-mirror tilt angle of approximately 3 degrees, completing the project 10% faster than projected timelines.
