BAJA SAE Competition

I co-founded the Loyola Marymount BAJA SAE team/club in conjunction with four other teammates. We designed, manufactured, and completed our vehicle in a single year. Creating the team foundation for future classes to build upon. 

​

I led the design/manufacturing of suspension, data acquisition, and drivetrain guarding and assisted with manufacturing the entire vehicle.

​

Our team placed third in the rock crawl event at the Washougal Washington BAJA SAE competition. 

​​

The majority of the design and function of the vehicle were completed with the team in Summer of 2022. 

​

The goals of our undergraduate capstone project were to:

​

1. Improve suspension dynamics/handling through testing and analysis.

​

2. Model drivetrain behavior in simulations and tune for optimal race performance. 

​

3. Perform further stress analysis and create FEA models to confirm vehicle safety.
