Robotics & Reinforcement Learning

So-Arm Manipulation with RL (PPO) in Isaac Lab

Random motion → precise grasping

Trained a So-Arm robotic manipulator with Proximal Policy Optimization in NVIDIA Isaac Lab. The policy learns coordinated, precise grasping entirely from reward signal. The clip on the left is the fully trained agent running live.

Loco-manipulation with RL & AMO Controller in MuJoCo

Walk + pick-and-place, one policy stack

Task-level RL (reach, grasp, lift) layered on a pretrained AMO whole-body controller on a Unitree G1 in MuJoCo. The robot walks to objects and manipulates them, demonstrated with a screwdriver pick-and-place task.

Whole Body Control & Bipedal Walking

Forward, backward & lateral gait Lyapunov-guaranteed stability

End-to-end humanoid locomotion stack: WBC formulated as a QP over joint accelerations and reaction forces for real-time balancing torques, plus a DCM planner that decomposes CoM dynamics into stable/unstable components for footstep generation under ZMP constraints.

Mechanical Engineering Internship

Stripper Plates · MS/X

95% of quality issues mitigated

Identified a recurring punch retraction issue causing quality defects. Designed 4 new stripper plates in SolidWorks, 3D-printed prototypes for rapid iteration, and validated compatibility with the rocker punch machine.

Frunk Clip Covers · M3

97% reduction in clip damage

Addressed frequent scratching and warping of M3 Frunk Clips during transport to General Assembly. Designed custom protective clip covers in SolidWorks, 3D-printed prototypes, and iterated on durability, significantly reducing scrap.

PA Sensor Installation Tool · MS/X

PoC delivered + documented

Engineered a spring-loaded installation tool for Parking Assist sensors to eliminate Not-Seated-Properly defects. Validated through multiple prototypes and refined with production teams for ergonomic use.

Software & Data Engineering Internship

Quality Dashboards Suite · BIW

10 real-time dashboards shipped

Designed and shipped 10 production dashboards covering casting quality, laser weld, adhesive inspection, and audit tracking. Replaced manual Excel reporting with real-time monitoring, defect-location heat maps, and pareto drill-downs filterable by shift, machine, and date.

Closure Points Data Automation

394 metrology points automated

Built a MATLAB pipeline that ingests raw laser-gauge metrology data and evaluates 74 gap/flush characteristics across vehicle closures, auto-flagging high-failure points with mean and standard deviation overlays to target dimensional improvements.

SPC Capability Studies

Cp/Cpk sixpack analyses

Ran statistical process control studies for hood-set repeatability across six fixture positions, producing Minitab capability sixpacks to validate process stability. Also led shop-floor root-cause investigations (5W+H) that landed poke-yoke countermeasures with process teams.
