Speed Reducer Gearbox Design & Analysis
Designed a two-stage reduction gearbox that took the input torque and speed of a chosen motor and stepped down the speed such that the output shaft achieved a desired speed and power.
My Contributions
- Performed all calculations to determine the gear specifications which were later replicated in SolidWorks
- Selected appropriate motor based on gearbox efficiency and desired output power
- Aided in FEA simulations for gearbox shaft loadings in SolidWorks

Bakery Oven Heat Reclamation System
Designed a sustainable heat recovery system that captures waste thermal energy from an industrial bakery oven and repurposes it to heat office space, reducing energy consumption and operational costs.
My Contributions
- Contributed to the design of a closed-loop heat transfer system using copper coils and circulating fluid
- Supported CAD modeling and subsystem layout design
- Helped prototype and validate the control system using Arduino and pump actuation
- Participated in testing, validation, and economic feasibility analysis and presented findings to client
