MECHANICAL
Our mechanical team handles design, manufacturing, and validation of the car.
Ethan Liu is a junior from the SF Bay Area majoring in Mechanical Engineering. He loves smooth layups both on the basketball court and in the lab.
Audrey Tseng is a sophomore from Long Island, New York majoring in Mechanical Engineering. She truly believes that Brunch is the most important meal of the day, and will never turn down a stack of pancakes after a long composites manufacturing trip.
Michael Yang is a sophomore from Montreal, Canada, pursuing a dual degree in Mechanical Engineering and Physics in Penn's Vagelos Integrated Program in Energy Research (VIPER). It may seem like he has a natural affinity for the ground: he's always found lying down, whether he's diving for a volleyball or assembling the suspension.
Sofia is a sophomore from Guadalajara, Mexico, majoring in mechanical engineering. She is part of the mechanical team, and she really likes trying new foods (although nothing beats street tacos).
Theodor Bulacovschi is a senior from Iași, Romania, studying Computer Engineering. He started working with HV at 14 and now the gloves finally fit.
Owen Shaffer is a master's student from Nashville, TN, majoring in Mechanical Engineering. He is a member of the Mechanical team. He once went to explore ancient Egyptian tombs in search of forbidden knowledge, and succeeded. He returned with several thousand lines of code and a 12-DoF transient vehicle model.
Josh Chen is a senior from Irvine, CA, majoring in Mechanical Engineering. He is a member of Mechanical subteam. He has consumed so much lactose that he is no longer lactose intolerant.
Henry Zhao is a senior from Vancouver, Canada, majoring in Mechanical Engineering. He is a member of the mechanical team. He enjoys machining and traditional hand tools.
David Vexler is a junior from Buffalo, New York studying mechanical engineering and computer science. He is on the mechanical team and is also our #1 Driver (No he's not, we'd never let him anywhere near the car).
Alexander Tong is a junior from Miami majoring in Mechanical Engineering. He is Town Hall 15 in Clash of Clans.
Victor Dang is a junior from Palo Alto, California studying mechanical engineering and business. He belongs to the mechanical team, and works primarily on driver interface. He was neighbors with Donkey from Shrek(at least, the live donkey used as the physical model for the character by the animators), who was not nearly as chatty as the films would suggest.
Jake is a junior from Bethesda, Maryland studying Mechanical Engineering and Robotics with minors in Math and Engineering Entrepreneurship. He enjoys 3D Printing and fresh baguettes.
Ava Martoma is a freshman from Boca Raton, Florida majoring in mechanical engineering and business through the M&T Program. She is a member of the aero subteam, and she has a passion for woodworking & marquetry.
Neha Bachu, sophomore, Dallas TX, Mechanical Engineering and Earth Science, I just started my own haircutting business
Camille Mou is a sophomore from Chengdu, China, majoring in Mechanical Engineering with a minor in Math. She is a member of the mechanical team. She is from one of the spiciest cities in China, but she is not good at eating spicy food. She's a big fan of Ferrari.
Jaylen Carpenter is a sophomore from Voorhees, NJ. A member of the Suspension subteam, he is studying Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mathematics.
Conor McDonald is a sophomore from Haverford, Pennsylvania, studying MEAM. He works on the Drivetrain as a part of the Mechanical team. He is a huge Philadelphia sports fan. Go Birds!
Grant Flores-DeWilde, sophomore, Chadds Ford, PA, MEAM, Mechanical, I love playing sports.
Amy is a sophomore from Abington, PA. She is majoring in Chemical Engineering and is a member of Accumulator subteam. Minecraft is her favorite game.
Jon Chen is a freshman from Lower Merion, PA, majoring in Materials Science Engineering and Physics in the VIPER program. He is on the mechanical subteam, working primarily on the Accumulator. He loves his catchphrases and living whimsically.
Matthew Cacuci, sophomore, Las Vegas, Nevada, VIPER (MEAM and Physics), Driver Interface, Fun Fact: I once pulled the fire alarm at my pre-school, and almost got away with it until a kid snitched on me
Kaiser Bariz. Sophomore. Major: Math + CS. Fun fact: could probably beat you at chess blindfolded.
Ben Jiang (known as BJ for short), sophomore majoring in ME, minoring in CS and Design. From Beijing, China, but born in Rochester, New York. I like reflective books that make you rethink life a little.
Ben Wrinn, sophomore, Portland OR, Mech E, Drivetrain subteam, Addicted to FB Marketplace and energy drinks
