2025 Competition
Third year as Drivetrain Lead, focusing on high-performance integration and advanced multibody dynamics simulations. This year's car, UT25, pushed the boundaries of our electric platform with custom planetary gearboxes and optimized thermal systems.
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.
UT25 — 2025 Competition Car
2025Acted as an advisor while completing my co-op placement. Supported simulation development and conducted drivetrain research to enable the next-generation AWD platform.
Performance: 15th Overall at FSAE Michigan, 2nd Overall at Formula Hybrid + Electric New Hampshire.
Impact: Enhanced simulation capabilities and design groundwork for UT26.
Simulation & Dynamics
Advanced simulation frameworks for vehicle performance analysis, from basic lap time optimization to integrated multi-physics modeling.
Integrated MATLAB Simulink Lap Simulation
2025Led development of integrated MATLAB Simulink framework advancing from steady-state to transient simulations, collaborating with powertrain and vehicle dynamics teams to integrate existing models and implement comprehensive multi-physics modeling with Vi-grade and Adams integration.
Impact: Established transient simulation capabilities enabling real-time analysis of complex vehicle dynamics, electrical systems, and thermal management interactions
Data Acquisition & Controls
Developing embedded systems and data acquisition platforms for vehicle monitoring and analysis.
Drivetrain Datalogger
2025Developed a custom drivetrain datalogger system to log cooling and strain gauge data during testing days on the 2024 car for 2025 development. Programmed a Teensy microcontroller and wired up all the circuitry myself, learning to crimp Molex wires and harness wires throughout the car to gather data on an onboard SD card. This data was then correlated with simulations for improved force and load analysis.
Impact: Established comprehensive data acquisition capabilities enabling correlation between experimental data and simulations for enhanced force and load analysis in vehicle development
Mechanical Design & CAD
Foundation of vehicle development through CAD modeling, component design, and manufacturing processes.
Strain Gauge Testing & Load Analysis
2025Installed strain gauges on tie rods and motor mounts to capture accurate load data for design optimization. Performed manual calibration by setting up circuitry and applying known loads using heavy objects, then designed the drivetrain datalogger system to log these loads during testing days.
Impact: Enabled data-driven optimization of structural components and established foundation for real-time load monitoring during competition
