2023 Competition
Second year on the team and first year as Drivetrain Lead. This year was focused on the design and manufacturing of the UTFR's second electric vehicle, UT23, with major improvements in weight reduction and system reliability.
FSAE Competition History
A chronological overview of my involvement with the University of Toronto Formula Racing team, from UT22 to UT26, highlighting the evolution of vehicle performance, technical innovation, and leadership roles.
UT23 — 2023 Competition Car
2023Led the development of UTFR's first fully electric FSAE vehicle as Drivetrain Lead, establishing the foundation for future EV platforms.
Performance: 1st Overall at Formula Hybrid + Electric New Hampshire, 5th Overall at FSAE Michigan, 6th Overall at Formula Student Czech Republic.
Impact: Successfully delivered the team's first operational EV powertrain — reliable, competitive, and groundbreaking for the program.
Simulation & Dynamics
Advanced simulation frameworks for vehicle performance analysis, from basic lap time optimization to integrated multi-physics modeling.
OptimumLap Lap Simulation & Drive Ratio Optimization
2023As drivetrain lead for the UT23 electric FSAE vehicle, advanced the team's simulation capabilities by pioneering comprehensive track mapping and points-based analysis for drive ratio optimization. While not the first to use OptimumLap, established systematic validation of tire models through autocross and endurance testing correlation.
Impact: Optimized drive ratios for electric FSAE vehicle across 4 international competitions, improving acceleration and top speed performance through validated simulation models
Thermal Management Systems
Comprehensive thermal engineering from component design to experimental validation and CFD optimization.
2023 Cooling System Design
2023Initial cooling system architecture and component selection.
Impact: Designed complete cooling loop for a first year electric FSAE vehicle, ensuring adequate thermal management for motor and battery systems under competition conditions
Mechanical Design & CAD
Foundation of vehicle development through CAD modeling, component design, and manufacturing processes.
Sprocket Design & FEA Analysis
2023Designed a custom sprocket for the UT23 electric FSAE vehicle, performing comprehensive load analysis and ANSYS FEA simulation to ensure structural integrity under competition loads.
Impact: Created optimized sprocket design with 15% weight reduction and factor of safety > 2.5, supporting drive ratio optimization work
